Terro Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits 2-Pack (12 Traps) — Pre-filled, Stakeable Borax Stations for Yard & Patio

Designed for treating large ant activity around yards, patios, garages and entry points, these ready-to-use liquid bait stations come in a 12-count pack with stakes so you can position them along trails and near nests. The bait is formulated to appeal to a wide range of sweet-preferring ants and the patented station design prevents the liquid from evaporating, giving ants continuous access. Use them outdoors to reduce ant pressure before colonies move indoors.

How do I set up Terro outdoor liquid ant baits effectively?

Place each pre-filled station where you see ant traffic, commonly along visible foraging trails, near mulch, foundations, along sidewalks, or close to pet feeding areas. The package includes stakes so you can secure baits in soil; you can also set stations flat on decks, porches, or inside garages if stakes aren’t needed.

• Position stations 3–6 feet apart along active trails for best results.
• Use stakes to anchor in soil or mulch to prevent tipping.
• Avoid direct sunlight that may warm surfaces; shaded locations keep ants active.

Which ant species does this Terro bait target and how does it work?

The liquid attracts many common outdoor ants that prefer sweet foods, such as pavement, ghost, Argentine, odorous house, little black, and other species. Worker ants feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony, where borax interferes with colony function over time, reducing both visible workers and hidden nest populations.

• Formulated for sweet-eating species commonly found around homes.
• Workers forage, feed, and transfer the borax bait to the nest.
• Continuous liquid supply supports sustained bait consumption until colony impact.

Are the Terro stations safe to use around pets and children?

These bait stations are designed to reduce direct access to the liquid, but they contain borax and should be placed out of reach of children and pets. Use the stakes to position stations in less-accessible spots and follow label directions to minimize exposure risks.

• Keep baits in locations pets and children cannot easily access.
• Use stakes to secure stations in the ground rather than leaving them loose.
• Follow all label instructions for placement and disposal.
