How Do Ants Take Terro Back to the Nest?

TERRO Liquid Ant Bait works by interfering with the digestive system of ants. These ants then carry the bait back to their nest. The borax contained in the bait corrodes the digestive system of the ants, weakening the exoskeletons.

These ants then scout for food, and leave a pheromone trail to let other workers know that a food source is nearby. This allows the bait to be spread around the colony.

These ants have an appetite for sugar. As soon as the bait reaches them, they will immediately begin to consume the liquid. This means that the bait has to be set several times, and must be monitored.

Terro ant bait contains borax, a naturally occurring mineral powder. This substance is used in many household consumer products. Boric acid has been used in cleaning boosters and flame retardants. It also occurs naturally in some minerals and fruits. It is toxic to some insects, including beetles, silverfish, and cockroaches.

These ants can be a serious problem, as they can carry bacteria and spread diseases. If you notice ants around your house, you should clean all surfaces and dispose of pet food before nightfall.

You can also use a heavy duty pesticide outside to kill ants. This method may work to remove ants, but can take several weeks. If you want a faster solution, try a liquid ant killer. It is effective, but may take two weeks to control.

You can use the liquid ant killer indoors or outdoors. You should also keep the bait out of reach of children and pets.
