Product Information
Full details
The Nippon Ant Killer Plus Bait Station is designed for homeowners seeking a fast and effective solution to ant infestations both indoors and outdoors. Its key benefit is its ability to eliminate entire ant nests within 24 hours by utilizing a unique, ingested indoxacarb-based gel that worker ants carry back to the colony. A potential consideration is that efficacy depends on ants actively finding and consuming the bait.

FAQs
How quickly will I see results?
You should observe ants interacting with the bait station within hours. The product is designed to eliminate entire nests within 24 hours, though complete eradication may take slightly longer depending on colony size.
Is this product safe for use around my pets?
Yes, the Nippon Ant Killer Plus Bait Station is designed to be safer for use around children and pets. The active ingredient, indoxacarb, is only activated once ingested by the ants.
Can I use this bait station outdoors?
Yes, the bait station is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Place it in areas where ant activity is observed, such as on patios, near entry points, or along garden paths.
How many bait stations are in a pack?
Each pack typically includes 2 sets of 3 bait stations, totaling 6 individual bait stations.
What should I do with the bait stations after the ants are gone?
Once ant activity has ceased, you can dispose of the used bait stations. If any bait remains, it can be kept for future use, provided it is stored correctly in a cool, dry place.
How does the 'nest eradication' work?
Worker ants consume the bait and carry it back to their nest. They then share the poisoned bait with other ants in the colony, including the queen, leading to the elimination of the entire nest.
Can I spray other ant killers near the bait stations?
It is not recommended to spray other insecticides or strong cleaning agents near the bait stations, as this can deter ants from approaching and consuming the bait.
Troubleshooting
Ants are not entering the bait station.
Ensure the station is placed directly on or very close to an active ant trail. Check that the bait is visible and accessible. Ants may be deterred by recent cleaning agent use; wait a day or clean the area with plain water.
Ant activity increases around the station initially.
This is normal behavior as ants discover the bait. Allow them to take the bait back to the nest for colony eradication.
Bait appears to be drying out.
Ensure the station is closed securely. If bait is visibly drying, replace the station. The product is designed for effective bait longevity under normal conditions.
Product not effective after 24-48 hours.
Check that ants are actively consuming the bait. If not, try relocating the stations. In cases of severe or persistent infestations, a secondary treatment or professional advice may be necessary.
