FAQs
Is NOPE! Ant Killer safe for pets?
Yes, it contains a bittering agent to deter pets and children. However, it is best to keep pets away from the treated areas during application and avoid ingestion.
How long does the bait take to work?
The time-delayed action means that it may take several days or up to a few weeks to see the complete elimination of the ant colony.
Where can I use this product?
It can be used both indoors (kitchens, garages, sheds) and outdoors (patios, lawns) where ant activity is observed.
How often should I reapply the bait?
Reapply the bait every four weeks, or sooner if it is depleted or after heavy rain.
What should I do if my pet ingests the bait?
Contact your veterinarian immediately. While the product is pet-safe, ingestion may cause some digestive upset.
Does the blue color stain?
The blue color is designed to be visible for easy tracking and monitoring of the bait. It is unlikely to stain, but it's best to apply it to surfaces where staining would not be an issue.
Can I use this product on my plants?
Yes, you can apply it around plants to control ants. Avoid direct application to the plants themselves.
How should I store the product?
Store the product in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is sealed when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Ants are still present after application.
Reapply the bait, ensuring thorough coverage in areas of ant activity. Check for other potential food sources that may be attracting ants and remove them. If the infestation is severe, consider a second application a week after the first.
Bait has been disturbed by pets or children.
Remove any remaining bait. Clean the area. Reapply the bait in a location less accessible to pets and children. Consider using a barrier, such as a covered bait station, if necessary.
Bait appears to be ineffective after rain.
Reapply the bait after rain, as moisture can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure that the treated area is sheltered from direct rainfall if possible.
