Terro brand works incredibly well for me.....I think it is sugar syrup and borax....they drink it up like crazy and take the sugar/borax back to the nest. Takes a few weeks to see results...so be patient...worked for me
Where do I get Terro. These are NOT fire ants. They’re crazy ants. No mound.
Terro worked well for us during the drought years when ants move indoors to find moisture and food. It is very unnerving to use at first as you watch trails of ants move in and out of the counters and floors. After 4-5 days, the number of ants decreases a great deal, and as you indicated, the ants disappear after a few weeks.
I am not sure if Terro will work for the ants in question. I understand there are a couple of any types that it won't work for.
+1 on Terro. Almost every April or May we get a huge ant invasion into the house (they find cat food — and cat vomit — appetizing). In recent years it was those crazy ants. This year, with a couple of Terro ant traps strategically located we didn’t have a single invasion.
Crazy ants really appear crazy, running every which way at high speed. I called them crazy ants before I knew there was such a category. They are very well named (as are fire ants).
Post # 12 is correct:
“TERRO Liquid Ant Baits” works very well for the little Florida ants. They will dry out over time, but I’ve found that you can put a few drops of water in them, and they ‘go active’ again!
