Ant bait that lets ants do the work
Ants are resourceful, we'll give them that. But when they start claiming your yard as their own, it's time to show them the door. Ant bait works by letting foragers do the heavy lifting, carrying it back to the colony where the whole crew shares the meal. No chasing them down, no extra effort, just real results.

Your ant bait questions answered
Q: How does ant bait work, and why might I see more ants before fewer?
A: Foraging ants carry the bait back to the colony as food. The whole crew shares it, including the queen, and the colony collapses within 3–14 days. Seeing more ants at first? That's actually the bait doing its job, drawing them out before they're gone for good.
Q: Is ant bait safe around kids and pets?
A: Spinosad, the active ingredient, is a biopesticide derived from a naturally occurring soil bacterium. Non-toxic and safe for use across your lawn, yard, and garden.
Q: Which ant species does ant bait target, and will it work on carpenter or fire ants?
A: Ant Adios handles most common ants like pavement ants, Argentine ants, odorous house ants, and more. However, it doesn't control carpenter ants, fire ants, harvester ants, or pharaoh ants. For fire ants or harvester ants specifically, check out Sunday's Fire Ant Fighter.
Q: What's the difference between bait stations, gels, and granules—and which should I choose?
A: Bait stations are small indoor traps. Gels squeeze into cracks and crevices. Granules cover more ground, making them ideal for outdoor jobs like fire ant mound control, lawn coverage, and perimeter barriers. Just open and shake where you see activity.
Q: Where should I place ant bait indoors and outdoors for best results?
A: Outdoors, scatter near mounds, along ant trails, or create a 6-inch barrier around your home's foundation. For widespread lawn issues, broadcast at 0.5–1 lb per 1,000 sq ft. Keep it dry and reapply if it gets wet.
Q: How long does ant bait take to eliminate a colony, and when should I replace the bait?
A: Expect results within 3–14 days. Reapply every 2–4 weeks as bait gets consumed. If rain hits, reapply once things dry out. Patience pays off here.
