Product Information
Full details
The Ant Bait Station 6-pack is designed for homeowners and gardeners who need a hassle-free, targeted solution to eliminate ant infestations without the mess of sprays or powders. Its key benefit is the pre-filled, factory-sealed design that ensures safety and ease of use, though it is important to note that the bait requires time to attract and eliminate the entire colony rather than providing an instant 'knockdown' effect.

FAQs
Can I use these stations near pets?
The bait is contained within a tamper-resistant station, but it should still be placed in areas that are not easily accessible to curious pets or small children.
How long does each bait station last?
The duration depends on the level of ant activity in your area, but they are designed to remain effective until the bait is fully consumed or the colony is controlled.
Should I kill the ants I see near the trap?
No. Allow the ants to enter the trap and return to their colony, as this is how the bait is distributed to the queen and the rest of the nest.
Can these be used outdoors in the rain?
The stations are designed for outdoor use; however, placing them in sheltered areas, such as under eaves or near foundations, will extend their longevity.
How many stations should I use at once?
For best results, use all stations in the pack to cover multiple entry points and provide a higher probability of colony elimination.
Troubleshooting
Ants are ignoring the bait station
Ensure the station is placed directly on a high-traffic ant trail. It may take a few hours for the ants to discover the bait.
I see more ants around the station
This is normal during the initial phase; it indicates the bait is successfully attracting the foraging ants to the trap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the station involves activating the pre-sealed unit and placing it on a flat, stable surface in the path of ant activity.
- Setup: Remove the station from the packaging and follow the specific activation instructions printed on the unit. Place it directly on the floor or ground.
- Compatibility: Safe for use in most residential areas, but avoid placing directly on food preparation surfaces.
- Care: Do not spray insecticides near the bait stations, as this will repel the ants and prevent them from entering the trap. Keep the stations in their original sealed state until the moment of use.
