TERRO T1804-6 Outdoor Ready-to-Use Liquid Ant Bait Killer and Trap - Kills Common Household Ants - 4 Bait Stations

These are my go to products to handle sugar ants and carpenter ants. I only like the ones with the cup and green saucers as the carpenter ants can get inside them…as far as i am concerned these are the only ant traps i ever recommend to my clients and that i use proactively every spring.

Works great! Has helped with my ant problems. Great value and fast shipping!

Killed massive colonies of aggressive carpenter ants within weeks. At first the ants ignored it and I was pretty bummed. But after a little over a week of waiting they swarmed one bait station. Then I added 2 more and they also went partially after the other 2 and within a few weeks I did not see a single ant outside my patio My advice is if you have a massive colony or several colonies like I did, be patient. I'm going to leave my bait outside for a few months to kill any stragglers or new nearby colonies that may come by but this bait works!!

I am trying to control the carpenter ants in our oak trees. I started using these last fall and they seem effective. The bait does dry out over a few weeks.

Easy to use and appeared to do what we were trying to do. Seeing less ants for sure.

I can always trust Terro ant bait to do a good job. It works every time, and quickly, and less toxic than other formulas

UPDATE of March 27, 2025: So, I ordered this Terro Outdoor Ant Killer product, T1804-6, again on March 26, 2025 AFTER calling Terro customer service just prior to reordering. I was told by a Terro customer service rep that the ant stakes were to come with this outdoor version of Terro Ant Killer. So, I ordered again from Amazon late yesterday. I ordered a box of 12 and a box of 4. The package arrived early this morning in a PLASTIC BAG. Luckily nothing was damaged this time. There were no stakes included in either set of Terro smaller boxes. The package of 12 had 2 holes in each, diagonal from each other, but no plastic stakes. The package of 4 had no holes and no stakes. I called Terro again today and was told the stakes are no longer included. I said that I hope this message is being recorded, as I don't want to have to collect these plastic ant stakes from all over my shrub bed after the wind blows. I also expressed a safety concern for small children and pets (including squirrels, etc.). I was told that my comments of safety concerns would be submitted to the company with a request for the plastic stakes to be included in the future. Will it happen...who knows? I did let Terro know that other customers are not happy that the stakes were discontinued. In conclusion, this product works great if you can get them to stay in place. Covering them with mulch does not seem to suffice. So, now I am seeking plastic stakes that might fit the ones that do have holes in the base of each unit. >>>>>PREVIOUS comments below: Where are the stakes to secure these TERRO ant stakes in place? I've ordered many of these for years, and I've been very pleased with them; HOWEVER, those TERRO ant stakes I ordered last year had NO STAKES...zero stakes. These little round things won't stay placed near my foundation without the stakes. They wind up all around the bed of shrubs and flowers. My point is to secure them and cover them with mulch. Before I spend $25-$50 again, I want to know if the stakes and the holes for the stakes are currently included in March of 2025. Does anyone know if the stakes and the holes for the ant stakes are included once again??? AND, The spiral green version of ant stakes don't work well, because they don't go deep enough into the ground, as the stakes are too blunt...AND, the solid dark green spiral stakes do not contain as much liquid.

There are 6 ant colonies in our lawn from a foot to almost 2 feet in diameter. I have a 'live and let live' philosophy, but the grass roots dried out on top of the colonies and the grass died. One colony I could live with. Six? No. I did not want to hurt anything other than ants, including ourselves (one is near our well) and these seemed the least toxic. They certainly killed a lot of ants, but surprisingly not all, for there are still a few milling around in each colony after a week. I bought a second box and the bases came without holes to anchor them to the ground, which was annoying, but the second box was delayed in shipping and I didn't want to send it back and have to wait so used them anyway. Hopefully they do not become dislodged, because the liquid is easy to spill if tipped. The liquid comes in a round container that gets fitted into the base and then turned a quarter turn to fill the reservoir and it is not always easy to make the turn without denting the container. All in all, I recommend these, but my final assessment will come when I see if all the ants are gone. ...A couple weeks later, all the ants are gone. I had to dig up the myrtle bed where the huge colony was located and there was not one ant. This is a great product.
