The BEST Way to Get Rid of Ants
By Heindrick • Aug 18th, 2008 • Category: Home Improvement
I really hate ants. I’ve used sprays, traps, soapy water, and voodoo before but I will never go back to them again. Awhile back, I realized that you really need to get them at the source - otherwise they just keep coming back. So traps are certainly the best choice as sprays and deterrents are just temporary.
Well lately, I used this Terro Liquid Bait Ant Trap and it is the BEST.
I’ve seen a lot of rave reviews about it and seen it on a few forums, well add me to this list. I have already gone through 3 boxes of these traps, and each has managed to attract hundreds of ants leaving a little cemetery of ants left in the traps. They literally go crazy for the first few days, and after awhile - all gone. I guess they bring back the “poison” to their base and it kills off the majority. The ones left in the traps are the real greedy ones I take- the guys who wanted all the good stuff for themselves, and stayed there apparently till the poison took effect.

These next few pictures are a little more graphic so I didn’t want to post them right on this page. But if you hate ants as much as I do and are looking for something to finally get rid of them, I’m sure you’ll have no problem

Some other traps that I have used.
So there you go. Hopefully, you guys have as much success as I did with these traps. I’d also be happy to know if you have any tips or comments (like using chalk as a deterrent) to share with me as well.

I had ant problem in my house for about a week. The number of ants in the house was increasing day by day. I had to do something. So, i tried the Raid Ant bait…but the ants were not attracted to the bait. Then, I tried the Raid Double Control…still no use as the household ants were not attracted to it. Then, i used the terro liquid ant bait. I saved this for last thinking that it is a liquid bait and there may be a mess. But, to my surprise, it worked perfectly. The ants were attracted to it immediately and carried it to there nest and by the next day, they were all gone. And there was no mess around the bait at all.
