TERRO Ant Dust, Ant Powder Killer for Indoors and Outdoors

This worked so well. My neighbor has a dead tree right next to my house that has a carpenter ant colony. As a result the ants keep coming into my home, including the flying ones to try and establish a satellite colony. I used this, along with a light trap (for the flying ones) and granular ant bait along my fence line, and within 2 weeks I had significantly less ant activity. Now most ants I find inside are already dead. I do live in florida and with it being rainy season I did need to reapply about 2 months after the first application outside. But if you live in a drier climate it should last much longer. As an added bonus, it also works against other bugs like cockroaches!

Seams to work, no ants since I put it down

This stuff is much better than the Terro pellets, which just sit around the affected areas and don't seem to do much at all. I coated down the few colonies I found around the yard this summer and within two days I wasn't seeing them anymore. After a weekly check and subsequently a small collapse of an unmaintained colony, I found it to remain effective at killing the colony. My only complaint is to be careful about the application site because this compound will either discolor or inhibit the grass from growing if applied on it. EDIT (10/1/14): This product does not kill the ants, but will instead irritate them so they do not want to be around it. The colonies I used it on just seemed to be resurfacing in other areas. As I confirmed, the EPA has more restrictions in the chemicals that can be used and these new versions are less effective in order to meet those requirements. I have used instead another remedy that is cheaper to make, but can be more harmful to small animals as well as small children. Borax powder and corn syrup do a wonderful job of killing off most types of Ants. Mix ~50:50 ratio of borax to corn syrup on a small piece of paper or piece of card stock and leave near the paths the ants use. The sugars attract them so they feed and bring the chemical back to the colony, killing the colony in the process. This version only works indoors and should not be used if pets or small animals can access it. For an outdoor remedy, sprinkle a small amount of borax powder at or near the mouth of the colony if visible. If needed, place some in the mouth of the colony and add a few drops of water to disperse the mixture and keep it from being removed from the hole. That produced results noticeable within an hour, compared to 24 hours or so of waiting for the Terro mix to kick in (which was only keeping them from using exits where the powder was placed, not killing them off).

been using this dust for years. does not work over night. takes a couple days but seems to kill the ants outdoors

This ant powder is excellent! It works exceptionally well to eliminate ants both inside the house and around the yard. It's easy to apply, acts fast, and provides great, lasting results. Highly recommended if you want a reliable solution to get rid of ants!

Somewhat helpful. Need something much more powerful. Safety top is good. Messiness ant attraction stickiness.

Wiped out our infestation of ants overnight.

The Item may or may not be 1 pound but it was roughly 1/2 full when opened. I have a very bad ant problem so I decided to go a head and use it. I placed it in locations where ants are generously, more than recommended and the number of aunts has not diminished. I even disturbed the ant hill so that it would be taken in by more ants. It doesn't seem to be effective at all.

Take a little time but it works

Bad and expensive

I bought it as I expected it’s a good product and will last at least couple of weeks, just 3 days and ants are walking over it
