Terro ant baits work very well. Some things to mention. They must be replaced once low. Another ant infestation will happen if you kill "most" ants. Those that mention not seeing the queen you have the wrong idea about colonies. The queen does not leave the colony, this product is designed for worker ants to bring food back to the colony and thus the queen. They work quite well, but most problems with recurring ants are due to premature removal or failure to replace the baits. This bait does not work on all ant species, but most. Some tips: do not put the baits directly on the ant trail anywhere, but to source where the ants are entering the home from and place a bait nearby. Do not cut the entire seal off the bait, it forms a hard outer shell quickly (about 3 days) and the ants will not be as effective at harvesting the bait. Instead cute a small "notch" in the top to slow evaporative effects.
Thanks for the adding that great info and tips! I will try that next season when they return. Seems to be a yearly thing except I get an upper hand on them quickly and it normally only lasts about 1 week or more. Thanks for watching!
I'm just going to keep switching them out until they stop coming completely, I want this hive dead, completely, it's queen, workers everything. Until then the trap is staying.
Fantastical review, Mr. Jeff!!! Dunno if anybody has mentioned this but: Prolly in the spring/summer (when likely they WILL come back!!!) I'm gonna put some plastic underneath the actual bait stations. Now that we are in the winter season, the wife has brought to my attention that the empty baits have leaked & borax solution has hardened!!! It's REALLY difficult to remove (without soaking the spot, I think...). Scraping did NOT do the trick, either. Just thought I'd share what I've found...Cheerio!!! :O)))
Oh no! Wish I'd read this before ! I squirted it all out onto the floor because I was getting frustrated that they didn't go into the container and then they started swarming the spot I put on a piece of cardboard so I got too excited I guess :( how did you remove it from the floor?
@@ccat8324 run some hot water (as hot as you can stand it while ringing out a wash cloth or dish rag...). Ring the excess hot water out & place on hardened borax spot. Leave on the spot for at least 15 - 30 minutes. The hotter the rag the more likely to soften the borax spot. When the spot is soften, you can use a butter knife to scrap the borax off the floor ( personally, I'd look into purchasing a plastic scraper...). Or if you're REALLY on a hurry, look into purchasing a straight razor scraper. Again, I HIGHLY recommend trying to get the borax spot as soft as possible. This will decrease the amount of "elbow grease" needed to remove the borax spot. 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Hope this helps. Good luck!!! 😇👌🏾💪🏾
Just put some Terro out at the same exact spot in my bathroom today too! It’s spring time and we’ve had a lot of rain recently. Always had luck with this stuff so hoping it works wonders still! I’ll keep you All updated in a few days.
@@ceciliagarza5302 love this stuff! Definitely is good stuff/ it works! So if you are struggling with any type of ants, you need to get this… They haven’t came back. Cross my fingers lol.
I had some unopened outdoor Terro ant baits that had dried up but thought I'd give them a try anyway located in our master bath where we have our pups food. They were dry enough that no liquid drained down into the bait but the teeny tiny itty bitty ants still was able to get enough and haul it back to where ever and ants were gone. Don't give up on the dried Terro, put them down and see if you'll get the same as I did.
by June 2nd . . there was ant activity but after 4 or 5 days, you said the ant activity ceased. The ants were supposed to deliver the bait to the rest of the colony. Then you put a secondary ant bait on June 7th . . hmmm where did these new ants come from? . . I was expecting NO activity
Wow! That’s some huge ants. I would not calk the bottom so the ants can come out of the walls there and you can see if you have a problem instead of them showing up somewhere else. Great video.
I just bought these and after a week I figured out the trick. U absolutely have to put them directly in the way of the ants or they won’t find it. It’s only been a few hours but my fear is unlike your trap here my traps already have hundred and thousands of ants inside and all over it 🐜 🐜 I’m scared I’ve made the problem worse and I have too big an infestation for the traps 😭😭 after 8 hours in one bathroom I had to bleach and spray raid over the hundreds of ants that crawled all over my bathroom instead of just one to the trap it was terrible. I hope 8 hours was enough to kill the colony and they won’t come back
Ha! I was thinking you had tiny sugar ants running around but I see these huge carpenter ants. Good to know it's effective against a number of home invasive species.
Yesterday I used this product for the first time when I noticed ants in my kitchen. We had a wet winter and I've noticed more ant activity lately. Within hours the ants had found the bait tray with the help of leaving a trial of the bait leading to the main container. This morning the ants were gone except for some dead ants inside the tray. Highly recommended.
I've been using Terro for several weeks inside my front door. It seems to work but after the ants dwindle away, more eventually come back. I'm thinking these different waves of ants may be coming from different colonies, perhaps following pheromone trails left by the preceding colony. Any thoughts?
That's very possible I imagine that could be the case. I haven't had the same problems its almost like spring time every year they come out and I see them in my house. I put down these bait stations and they are gone 7-10 days for the entire year! Another thing which I do also is put some outdoor bait stations and kill some colonies outside my house!
@@JeffLepard Like I said, I've been using Terro for weeks. Right now, I've got the biggest swarm of ants I've yet seen coming to the bait from under the molding beside the front door. They will probably dwindle and die off after a few days, but there may be yet another wave coming from farther away. I'm going to start putting bait outside the house too, per your suggestion.
@@dutchray8880 I have the same problem. So far, I have had three different swarms of ants over a one week period. The ants I'm getting are very tiny and so far have not seemed to even made a dent in the amount of liquid in the bait station. Good luck with your ant problem if they are still around.
If you're having them come in from outdoors, then there are other more heavy duty bait traps you can use. These traps are primarily if you have a problem inside your house.
Thank you for the recommendation. I got these baits however my ants are much smaller and I don’t know if they can reach the bait entrance. I’m hoping they do because my usual homemade baits that I make with sugar and borax are not working. Crossing my fingers and looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Is this stuff safe to use if you have pets? I have a cat and I am having ants coming in from the back of my bed through the baseboards and they come in like every spring. I just hope she doesn't get into it and it hurts her or anything. Any tips?
Thank you Sir! Just started ant issue in my kitchen, the little tiny black ones from California. Glad it’s just a “scout” ant or two. So far so good! Never heard of this product because I never had insect issues until now. I notice your ants are gigantic compared to mine. I never knew black ants can get that big. Much appreciated Sir! Enjoy your week.
oh those are carpenter ants. i put down some liquid from an older stash i had, i still have a couple straggling ants i dont know if i should remove the traps because majority are gone but theres still a couple more... they wont eat the bait.
I have had great success using these on a particular type of ant that makes ground nests in my yard. These are larger black ants that look like the ant on the packaging. I leave a fresh bait near the main entrance to their nest and they feast on it. It does take 2-3 days for the poison to work, but after they are gone a couple heavy rains wipes their nest out and the grass fills back in. I have another type of ant as well, these are tiny brown ants that make small conical ant hills from sand and these baits do not affect them at all. For the small ants I use Raid and spray the hill directly and then spray a circle around the hill so any ants coming or going have to cross over the poison. Also, since we are talking about pests, I used to have massive amounts of box elder bugs and asian lady beetles every year, I hit them with permethrin and that decimated them.
I tried the gel bait traps from other companies before Terro. It's not even close. Terro wiped them out. The gel and solid food traps barely slowed down my infestation.
Thanks for the video! I saw a few ants in the living room today, so I bought this product. Should I also use Terro outdoor bait at the same time? I wonder if that would be more effective.
So I just happened to buy these at the store and on the box it says after you twist the tab off to peak the sticker so you can attack it to a wall indoors or out.....I was looking for a video on how to get it to stick to a wall which I just can't figure out and apparently you either....I have 2 dumbass dogs that will eat these so I have to be crafty where I place them!
I had an ant outbreak of little tiny ants that were so small you could barely see them unless you got up really close. They were so small they could not even crawl into that plastic trap so I poured some of the juice out for them.
Yes, it does work on red ants. It will work even faster if you will mix Terro with the poison in Hot Shot Roach and Ant Gel. Take suggested suggested mixture to an Red Ant hill and watch the entire colony be wiped out in less than 2 hours.
I've been seeing very tiny ants crawling around my computer workstation. They're super tiny, hardly noticeable unless you happen to be looking directly at them. I wonder if this might work for them.
Best product for getting rid of ants. After getting rid of the ones inside I went outside to find where they came in. Took a Cool Whip tub and poked 3 holes along the bottom portion of the it and poured some of the bait in it. Closed it and put it against the foundation near where they had their trail.. Haven't seen anymore ants. They were gone within 2 days.
Do they die on floor or in colony? I have 2 kitties, and they are at their feeding stations. I set out 12 and barricaded them as well as used double sided to keep my curious one from batting them around. I also did a perimeter spray around my house with ortho home defense.
I purchased these after seeing the rave reviews on Amazon. Debby just passed through Florida, and we've had several downpours for days. Noticed the small brown ants on one of my kitchen counters. I also see a space under the countertop stove that allow entry. Placed two of these out, but the ants are not going inside. They're all over the counter and they walk alongside and on top of the trap. They seemingly go everywhere except inside the trap. I've since had to spray ant raid to kill the countertop herd. I did manage to take the cap off before placing in a prime location. 😂 Now, what can I do about ants not going inside the traps?
If you think your opening is going to turn out the way his does in this video after you cut it, you're in for a surprise. Note the edit at 2:14 . Between that shot and the one where he shows you a perfectly formed opening, he has emptied his toolbox looking for just the right tools to re-engineer everyone of those bait traps so that the ants don't have to take flight and fly through the air and find their way through a tiny passage of crushed plastic in order to enter the bait station. The box says, "New Snap Off Tab" What a joke! Those things are impossible to "snap off." You're left with a crushed and mangled opening. Definitely use scissors!
They work. However, we're three weeks into treatment in our bathroom after two waves of ants. Expect dead ants scattered around the area after about a week. They especially like the shower, seeking water to sooth their destroyed digestive systems.
Thanks for the video.....Hardest thing in communication is stopping the uh and um in between words......If you can quit that, your videos will be way better
pro tip from my testing, the best way to make 100% sure you don't get this stuff on any surfaces you want to keep clean(this stuff is VERY hard to remove when it dries without scraping it off and damaging the surface below) is to place the poison on top of wax paper, the poison cannot pass through it at all, it literally floats on top, use some small weights or pennies to hold the wax paper down so the ants can climb up, and I recommend cutting the wax paper edges straight because the ants seem to have a bit of trouble climbing the jagged edges. the cardboard squares they give you are too hard for ants to climb, and regular printer paper does not resist Terro soaking through I'm mostly talking in regards to the liquid poison bottles they sell, but it's also good to have insurance with the traps in the video as well in case somebody accidentally knocks into it
I’m using these they seem to be working well so far . Attracting lots of big black ants . 🐜 Then are coming from base boards in my bedroom . I’ll replace the bait in a few days . Then clear cock the base board !! Dam things must be eating my house 🏡
You can either cut the t a b off or you can rip it off. But I always have gloves on for the most part when I handle these. These things are like freaking magic. Also what we're doing is a little bit evil I just don't want them in my kitchen
These aren't working for me at all. I laid them down about a week ago and there is no indication they have visited them. I did not have that many to begin with but still see about the same two or three a day. The liquid dows not seem to be going down and there is no indication of droppings. They are definitely open as I can pour liquid out of them. What am I doing wrong?
@JeffLepard my wife and I purchased the TERRO Liquid Ant Bait yesterday, and we have already had excellent results... I wanted to watch some review videos to make comparisons to our experience, and I enjoyed your video a lot... And after watching your video, it crossed my mind that you would get the Def Leppard thing here and there, even though the last name is pronounced differently... And like you said, that's okay... Def Leppard were actually badass
Ur last name is Leopard 🐆 don’t try n fancify it by saying luh-pard. 😂😂😂 ur not like Joe dirt🤣🤣jpjp ur ant editing skills r great btw but I can tell u added them in ur video when u shown us the checking the bait scenes.
These attracted way too many ants in my bathroom where the problem was. I left them there for a day so they could consume it and then I placed them all outside. It just attracted them way way too much to the point were I couldn’t use the bathroom as need.
I appreciate the explanation on how to use the product but you claiming that you verified to us that it factually works… didn’t happen. Ants eating some of bait doesn’t verify the bait was taken back to the colony and killed all the other ants.
so will this work for large colonies in the wild or only for small ones? there's this huge ant hill in the way and i'm trying to find a solution to effectively get rid of them.
Have you also noticed that the design is bad? The bottleneck creates, well, a bottleneck in ant traffic in and out. Most of the ants end up drowning inside as it gets overcrowded due to the bottleneck. Very poor design. The old version Terro liquid bait traps were far, far superior.
My apartment has a major problem with sugar ants living in the walls. Placed a drop by the sink and it was absolutely swarmed last night. This morning there were already way fewer ants feeding on it.
@@JeffLepard Thanks I actually put out more and it got so bad they were biting, I was wondering if maybe they were fire ants, although they looked more black than red? After getting bit quit a bit, I got mad and ended up spraying them with some ortho home defense spray. I was finding dead ants every day after that for about 4 days, I would clean them up and next day more and more, so I put out more of the ant bait traps and haven't seen any ants since.
It's winter and very cold here in Ohio and for some reason ants are showing up everywhere. I just put the terro baits down so I really hope that they help. They helped during the summer but I'm not quite sure why there's a ton of them now. My house is on a slab and I've read that houses like this tend to have this problem. Is driving me crazy
I used a trap in the area directly behind my kitchen sink last year, and it worked really well. This year, I’m going to be placing a trap in a cabinet where I’ve noticed activity. However, this cabinet only holds dishes, because I keep all unrefrigerated food in the pantry.
Wait I didn't see anything "Working" I saw Ant's being given free lunch. I could put down some Liquid Coffee creamer and get the same video. "Look all the Ant's are there eating the liquid". So what? I don't know that the Ant's are gone now! Get your controls better guys (I've watched multiple videos on this and they are all doing the same "Nothing". Sorry.
Dude, you don't have a ant problem. I FUCKING DO ! I have 22 Parrots. Mostly Parrokeets, but 3 large parrots and 4 Med. sized parrots. They are NOT caged. They live in a dedicated Aviary which is my 12x30 foot back room. My birds flick, toss, throw their food all over just for their amusement. I am extremely busy doing commercial HVAC and by the time I get home, I am sooooo tired to even think about cleaning. My cement floor in the bird room is infested with the common ant 🐜. I doubt this bait will take care of my problem. It may slow them down, but it won't stop them. I am gonna try though. My ONLY REAL CONCERN IS , how poisonous is it to Parrots if they lick it ? Up to now I have been using Pet friendly ant spray . It DOES kill them when you spray it on them but the next day ....not only are the ants back, they are carrying off their dead loved ones while the others feast once again. Last week I got soooo desperate AND pissed, I brought out my acetylene and torch and started burning the entire area. Did NOT make a dent . Oh well
I’m so happy you showed me how to cut the tab off
Very happy I could do that! LOL. It's a great product!
Same here re the tab! The instructions on box indicate to break it off which was not happening. Great video thank you!

@@ccat8324 Yeah twisting it almost never works well for me. I just usually cut at the tear line with a pair of sharp scissors, it's far easier.
Can you make a vid showing what you mean by cutting it a certain way to make it last longer? I'm confused. 😓
Ant: “ Hmmm.... What?! Why are all my buddy’s dead in here? Oh well. More Food for Moi””!!!”

Haven't seen anymore ants. They were gone within 2 days.
Either that Terro box is really small, or you have some big ass ants haha
He Had Only 10 Ants 😂
Just Follow The Line Of The
Ants And Close The Hole With
Caulk.
Amén.
Do they die on floor or in colony? I have 2 kitties, and they are at their feeding stations. I set out 12 and barricaded them as well as used double sided to keep my curious one from batting them around. I also did a perimeter spray around my house with ortho home defense.
I purchased these after seeing the rave reviews on Amazon. Debby just passed through Florida, and we've had several downpours for days. Noticed the small brown ants on one of my kitchen counters. I also see a space under the countertop stove that allow entry. Placed two of these out, but the ants are not going inside. They're all over the counter and they walk alongside and on top of the trap. They seemingly go everywhere except inside the trap. I've since had to spray ant raid to kill the countertop herd.
I did manage to take the cap off before placing in a prime location. 😂 Now, what can I do about ants not going inside the traps?
If you think your opening is going to turn out the way his does in this video after you cut it, you're in for a surprise. Note the edit at 2:14 . Between that shot and the one where he shows you a perfectly formed opening, he has emptied his toolbox looking for just the right tools to re-engineer everyone of those bait traps so that the ants don't have to take flight and fly through the air and find their way through a tiny passage of crushed plastic in order to enter the bait station. The box says, "New Snap Off Tab" What a joke! Those things are impossible to "snap off." You're left with a crushed and mangled opening. Definitely use scissors!
They work. However, we're three weeks into treatment in our bathroom after two waves of ants. Expect dead ants scattered around the area after about a week. They especially like the shower, seeking water to sooth their destroyed digestive systems.
Thanks for the video.....Hardest thing in communication is stopping the uh and um in between words......If you can quit that, your videos will be way better
pro tip from my testing, the best way to make 100% sure you don't get this stuff on any surfaces you want to keep clean(this stuff is VERY hard to remove when it dries without scraping it off and damaging the surface below)
is to place the poison on top of wax paper, the poison cannot pass through it at all, it literally floats on top, use some small weights or pennies to hold the wax paper down so the ants can climb up, and I recommend cutting the wax paper edges straight because the ants seem to have a bit of trouble climbing the jagged edges.
the cardboard squares they give you are too hard for ants to climb, and regular printer paper does not resist Terro soaking through
I'm mostly talking in regards to the liquid poison bottles they sell, but it's also good to have insurance with the traps in the video as well in case somebody accidentally knocks into it
I’m using these they seem to be working well so far . Attracting lots of big black ants . 🐜
Then are coming from base boards in my bedroom .
I’ll replace the bait in a few days . Then clear cock the base board !!
Dam things must be eating my house 🏡
You can either cut the t a b off or you can rip it off. But I always have gloves on for the most part when I handle these. These things are like freaking magic. Also what we're doing is a little bit evil I just don't want them in my kitchen
These aren't working for me at all. I laid them down about a week ago and there is no indication they have visited them. I did not have that many to begin with but still see about the same two or three a day. The liquid dows not seem to be going down and there is no indication of droppings. They are definitely open as I can pour liquid out of them. What am I doing wrong?
did you ever have people mispronounce your last name, and compare your name to Def Leppard?
All the time but that's ok 👍
@JeffLepard my wife and I purchased the TERRO Liquid Ant Bait yesterday, and we have already had excellent results... I wanted to watch some review videos to make comparisons to our experience, and I enjoyed your video a lot...
And after watching your video, it crossed my mind that you would get the Def Leppard thing here and there, even though the last name is pronounced differently...
And like you said, that's okay... Def Leppard were actually badass
@StinkFinger2023 Those things were amazing I haven't had anymore issues at my house from them. I appreciate the support thanks so much!
Ur last name is Leopard 🐆 don’t try n fancify it by saying luh-pard. 😂😂😂 ur not like Joe dirt🤣🤣jpjp ur ant editing skills r great btw but I can tell u added them in ur video when u shown us the checking the bait scenes.
These attracted way too many ants in my bathroom where the problem was. I left them there for a day so they could consume it and then I placed them all outside. It just attracted them way way too much to the point were I couldn’t use the bathroom as need.
thank you Jeff it works wonders. no more ants!
I swear by this product its amazing! Thanks for watching!
3:15 Big Brother Ants Edition
These suckers come back every year but quickly get rid of them fast!
I put a dab on some blue painters tape around house
Those are some BIG Fucking ANTS.
I appreciate the explanation on how to use the product but you claiming that you verified to us that it factually works… didn’t happen. Ants eating some of bait doesn’t verify the bait was taken back to the colony and killed all the other ants.
I know there's no way to prove it, but my house had been ant free for over 2 years now.
Can the trap be placed on carpet? Would you recommend putting it on a sheet of paper? I don’t have hardwood in my bedroom.
Does this bait work outside? Does it work in all types of ants such as fire ants snd carpenter ants?
so will this work for large colonies in the wild or only for small ones? there's this huge ant hill in the way and i'm trying to find a solution to effectively get rid of them.
hope they work bc put it down today n I'll see, got mine at walmart!!
Better lighting needed asap for your videos
Get a ring light.
I'm sorry but you just proved that this product does not work, even after 5 days have passed and you still got ants.
It works perfectly the ants are gone and haven't returned for over 2 years now.
Just put them out tonight. I hope they work. Glad they worked for you.
Usually ants also chase termites , Do you have termites
Thank god nope I don't! That would be another issue! LOL
Have you also noticed that the design is bad? The bottleneck creates, well, a bottleneck in ant traffic in and out. Most of the ants end up drowning inside as it gets overcrowded due to the bottleneck. Very poor design. The old version Terro liquid bait traps were far, far superior.
I haven't had to use these lately but good input on that! Thanks for watching!
I've been using this for a week and still have a bunch of ants . Do they build a tolerance for it
It takes 1 to 2 weeks at least. It works amazing trust it.
You are a master at reviewing this product .
It’s my favorite. Found at liquidation place. Seeing video to see how you cut it. I’ve tried several ways, haha.
Thanks For Watching!
I hope this doesn’t attract my aunts as well.
I had to use a pair of scissors to cut the plastic off the ant application. Thank you for sharing the video.
a mf somehow got inside my pc monitor like wtf
Did any Ants Die while shooting this video ??
No ants have gone into my traps.
Those ants are huge
Carpenter ants 🐜
why did you disable the like/dislike feature on your videos?
TH-cam may eventually get rid of it for everyone. We are testing analytics on the channel.
the like/dislike feature is available for me. I chose like 😁
Thanks, Johnny.
Thanks for the support!
I can't believe I found a video to show me how to do this. Thank you so much, Jeff❤
You are so welcome!
My apartment has a major problem with sugar ants living in the walls. Placed a drop by the sink and it was absolutely swarmed last night. This morning there were already way fewer ants feeding on it.
Ants are so gross. I can’t stand them.
Yo, I didn't expect giant ants to come out.
Carpenter ants are the big ones!
I put these out in a basement bathroom that have ants! They starting coming to the stations, but are still coming... why is it not working?
Sometimes it may take a bit longer to work if there's a lot.
@@JeffLepard Thanks I actually put out more and it got so bad they were biting, I was wondering if maybe they were fire ants, although they looked more black than red? After getting bit quit a bit, I got mad and ended up spraying them with some ortho home defense spray. I was finding dead ants every day after that for about 4 days, I would clean them up and next day more and more, so I put out more of the ant bait traps and haven't seen any ants since.

Diatomaceous earth
any video of you caulking the baseboards ?
Great product it does work!
It sure does! Thanks so much for watching!
It's winter and very cold here in Ohio and for some reason ants are showing up everywhere. I just put the terro baits down so I really hope that they help. They helped during the summer but I'm not quite sure why there's a ton of them now. My house is on a slab and I've read that houses like this tend to have this problem. Is driving me crazy
How well have they worked? I’m in Ohio too, thanks!
You have to do it every 3 months so they don’t return again
@@naz.718 Thank you
Th ants is huge 😂
Man, I hate ants.
Johnny sins?
Very informative sir thanks for sharing this to us.
Would like to know how to use this bait in kitchen or what you recommend for cabinets near food.
I used a trap in the area directly behind my kitchen sink last year, and it worked really well. This year, I’m going to be placing a trap in a cabinet where I’ve noticed activity. However, this cabinet only holds dishes, because I keep all unrefrigerated food in the pantry.
I placed newspaper down and put 1 trap. It’s working.
Dude 5 minute video for some BS cutting the tape 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 congratulations you’re famous
Wait I didn't see anything "Working" I saw Ant's being given free lunch. I could put down some Liquid Coffee creamer and get the same video. "Look all the Ant's are there eating the liquid". So what? I don't know that the Ant's are gone now! Get your controls better guys (I've watched multiple videos on this and they are all doing the same "Nothing". Sorry.
Dude, you don't have a ant problem.
I FUCKING DO ! I have 22 Parrots.
Mostly Parrokeets, but 3 large parrots and 4 Med. sized parrots. They are NOT caged. They live in a dedicated Aviary which is my 12x30 foot back room. My birds flick, toss, throw their food all over just for their amusement. I am extremely busy doing commercial HVAC and by the time I get home, I am sooooo tired to even think about cleaning.
My cement floor in the bird room is infested with the common ant 🐜.
I doubt this bait will take care of my problem. It may slow them down, but it won't stop them.
I am gonna try though. My ONLY REAL CONCERN IS , how poisonous is it to
Parrots if they lick it ? Up to now I have been using Pet friendly ant spray .
It DOES kill them when you spray it on them but the next day ....not only are the ants back, they are carrying off their dead loved ones while the others feast once again. Last week I got soooo desperate AND pissed, I brought out my acetylene and torch and started burning the entire area. Did NOT make a dent .
Oh well
How well does this work with the larger Carpenter ants?
