Deadfast 20300502 Ant Killer Plus Bait Station 3 x 4g, Natural

This stuff does work. If you have a big colony, you may need a few rounds. I've gone trough two packs and about to do what I hope will be the final one. Each pack has 3 bait stations inside a single foil bag. Take one of the stations out, snap the end of the plastic, squeeze the bait so it goes into the chamber and place it you see the ants most. They'll swarm it and start taking the poison back to the nest. I was worried about using poison as I have a pet rabbit. But, I put them where he does not go and it was alright. For me, things with the colony felt worse before they got better. At first, I saw more of them, different sizes and different places. I put out a second pack. They swarmed those. That time a lot died inside the station. I am now seeing fewer ants. I still see a few here and there. If this happens again, I am going to just buy this stuff right away and attack full force - no faffing about with vinegar or trying to use a single bait station. It does work and means you don't need to spray nasty chemicals everywhere, so its a bit of a neater solution especially if you have pets.

Used these a few times over the years. Works really well and stops the ants after a week or so. It does attract ALOT of ants just as a heads up. Use in a household with cats and they don't seem interested in it at all

This is the only review that’s going to give you an honest idea of how these ant traps work. They’re very simple to use, HOWEVER, they’re not a miracle killer. In fact, they don’t kill majority of the ants in the trap. Perhaps the ants go and die in the nest? Probably. When you put these traps out, give it a few minutes to an hour for the ants to start scurrying in. They get in the trap and eat the gel and they will continue to walk in and out. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE TRAP! When you do this, the ants scurry away and get out. Just leave it. After 24 hours, check the trap, IF there are still live ants around the trap, don’t move it. LEAVE IT! They’re not dead yet. I had to set up a total of 4 traps before they finally died. I noticed when the problem really ended, there were no ants around AT ALL! Not outside the trap, nothing! The other traps I removed thinking I got rid of them but they were probably just sleeping or too full to move 🤣🤣 In summary. Set the trap. Leave it. Don’t touch it. If they don’t all die, set another one. Only love the traps when you stop seeing live ants. Otherwise, for the price? It’s a pretty decent fix for an in house ant infestation

Absolutely amazing!! I had a few ants in the house and decided to grab these. It took maybe 24 hours for the ants to find this and then holy moly did they arrive, but since then, NO ANTS!!! It’s small enough to not be noticed by the kids and the poison is contained in the plastic so if they did find it, they can’t get to the nastiness. If I ever get ants again I will be buying this immediately!!

Worked great at first but now I think it’s like honey to them and they can munch it all day long

Didn't work, Ants were walking past it. Not sure if it was still in date. On box manufacture date was 10/24 so maybe lost its strength. Disappointed. Will try another brand

I'm impressed with this product. We have brown ants which are tricky ants to kill, harder your standard black ants. They're picky and more selective about their choice of bait, more cautious and can often ignore bait at first. We were using a sugar bait initially which they loved and then stopped using so I switched to this because it has fat and protein in it to try to tempt them back. They ignored the bait initially and I thought "oh no they're not interested!" but apparently that is how brown ants work, they came out in the early morning, took the bait and filled the trap. Then left back to their colony, which is again what they're supposed to do because they bring it back to their queen to kill it and finish the job. As others said I had fresh waves of ants, which is what you want (although it seems counterintuitive!). They tell their buddies and they come running to take the bait, recruiting more, more take the poison and share it with their pals. Looks bad at first but that's how you know it's working. You want them to take as much back as possible and not die in the trap otherwise the colony won't collapse. Anyways I've ordered some more but would recommend especially if you've got brown ants. We used Nippon first (sugar based) then switched to this (protein/fat based). They seem to love it! I'm preserving because overall the numbers are dropping and I'm hoping that switching between baits will do the trick. Be patient, don't disturb them in the trap and let them come and go. You need to poison to get back to he colony and get their queen.

These work really well. You should know that getting rid of ants is not an immediate process. They will SWARM these bait stations, and you will see more ants than you imagined you had. It is definitely an “it looks worse before it gets better,” but it will get better if you are patient and let the ants go back and forth to the colony.
