Every spring the ants find a way in. Hundreds of them. Terro bait stations are my first line of defense — the ants crawl in, eat their fill, and carry the poison back to kill the nest. With 158,000 reviews, this is the most proven ant product on the market.
Terro is the gold standard for indoor ant control. The ants eat the poison and bring it home — you can literally see the trail of them carrying droplets back to destroy the nest.
Warmer weather arrives, and so do the ants. Somehow they find a way in — under the door, through a crack, along the foundation — and suddenly there are hundreds of them marching through the house looking for food. It's a massive problem.
I tackle it with a three-layer defense:
The genius of Terro is that you don't need to find the nest. The ants find the bait, eat their fill, and carry the poison-laced liquid back to the colony. The poison spreads and kills the nest from the inside.
I've watched it happen — a line of ants marching in, drinking their fill, and carrying droplets of poison back out. Within a few days, the trail dries up and the ants are gone.
158,000 reviews. 4.6 stars. At $10.96 for 12 bait stations, this will last me at least two years. There's no better-reviewed ant product on Amazon, and after using it, I understand why.
If you have ants inside your house, put out Terro bait stations. They work, they're cheap, and 158,000 people can't be wrong.
"Simple, reliable, and $15. Pump it up and it sprays a fine mist for at least a third of the tank. 79,000 reviews don't lie."
"Works incredibly well as an ant barrier — I put a line in front of the door and no more ants came through. Only catch? It's the same DE I already have 40 pounds of in the garage for my pool filter."
"Creates a deadly perimeter around the house that stops ants before they even reach the door. Six hours of spraying and I found dead insects everywhere."
