Each stake contains a clear bait monitor so you can see activity and know when to replace it. The stakes are designed for outdoor placement and resist rain and normal weather, so the bait stays available to foraging ants rather than washing away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will I notice fewer ants around the bait stakes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany users see a significant drop in worker ant visits within a few days as foragers take the bait back to the nest.
