We used these to get rid of the small black kitchen ants that we found crawling all over our countertops and they work!
Caveat, as previous reviewers said, we did receive one damaged in the box and the bait inside these is messy and sticky so take care when opening and moving around. Also, as mentioned, cut the tab off with scissors as the twist method is difficult and when done is even more messy.
As far as the process and working, we set them out on the kitchen counters where we saw ants as directed. After a while the visible ants began to line up and go back and forth from the bait to their entry point (under the counter). A couple hours later there were LOTS of ants now in the line moving from bait to entry to bait to entry, presumably taking the bait back to the nest.
We left them out overnight and I was envisioning waking up the next morning with my kitchen engulfed in ants, but when we came down in the morning the ants were gone! We cleaned up the area (sticky bait and dead ants) and left the clean traps on the counter (we tossed the ones full of ants). For the next few days there were a few straggler ants to be seen, but the nothing on par with before we started or during the first day.
I was skeptical, but these traps did exactly what they said they would do. Bear in mind, as I and others said, they may arrive damaged and the liquid inside the traps is sticky as all get out, but it's worth it for the elimination these traps performed, seen and unseen.

Watch This Before You Buy Terro Liquid Ant Baits
Vin's Honest Reviews
From the manufacturer
TERRO Liquid Ant Baits
Ants can be a problem anywhere – in the home, at work and everywhere in between. To kill common household ants, place TERRO Liquid Ant Baits in areas where you've seen ant activity. This will attract foraging ants so they can take the bait back to the nest. As the bait circulates through the colony, it kills the ants you see and the ones you don’t. Within a few days, you should see a significant decrease in the number of ants visiting the bait. The compact size of the bait stations makes them perfect for placement along baseboards, in corners, on counters, under and behind appliances, and on windowsills. The more bait placements you use, the better!
How Liquid Ant Bait Works
Since this is a bait, initially you will see more ants – but don’t worry, this is a good thing. Why? As ants forage for food, they are quickly attracted to the sweet, sugary liquid inside the bait stations. After finding the bait, worker ants consume it and leave behind a pheromone trail leading back to the colony. This trail lets other worker ants know where the newly discovered food supply is. This is why you will see more ants in the beginning.
Meanwhile, the active ingredient, Borax, is slowly interfering with the ant’s digestive system, ultimately eliminating it, but leaving enough time for the ant to go back and share the dose with the rest of the colony. This slow kill is necessary so that foraging ants can make several trips to the bait. The communal nature of an ant colony allows the bait to be spread to hundreds, if not thousands, of individual ants.
How to Use Liquid Ant Baits
TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are very easy to use. Before placing the bait stations, be sure to remove other sources of food, such as crumbs, sugar and grease spots to prevent attracting ants elsewhere. Do not place bait where you’ve already sprayed insecticides, as the pests may avoid the bait stations.
- Hold the bait station firmly with bait pack tab facing up. Break off the tab being careful not to spill the bait.
- Place the bait station label side up on a flat surface near signs of ants. Place additional bait stations anywhere they may enter your home. For best results, use all bait stations to ensure a sufficient supply for the ants.
- Monitor placements regularly, but do not interfere with the pests or bait stations. Replace when bait is depleted. Complete control may take up to 2-4 weeks.
- Once ants are controlled, replace the baits every 3 months to keep them from returning.

Works great.
Had a large trail coming in under a door. Put one of the traps there and within a few hours the ants were going into it. The picture shows all the dead bodies around it three days later. There were many other bodies in the area not shown in the pic. Hopefully enough of them lived long enough to get back to the colony and feed the others. The only issue I have with these traps is getting them open. The directions say to twist off the end. I have strong hands and cannot do it. I used sturdy scissors to cut the end open. I’ve placed four traps so far in various areas and had to use the scissors each time.
