Patience pays off
I bought both the indoor and outdoor varieties of these - I live in Florida and my home and home office space (which is detached) both had problems with these obnoxious tiny, fast-moving ants. They sting, making it really annoying to be at my keyboard and suddenly get bitten all over my hands and arms. There's some important things to remember when using the Terro Liquid Ant Baits. First, yes, it does take days, and for me I left these out for weeks. Second, I looked at where the ants were coming and going and put this along their path in a place that my pets would not be able to get into, just to be safe. If you have small children, definitely be extremely careful as the liquid looks like honey. Third, it's really annoying that it doesn't *look like* the ants are taking the bait--I kept wanting to yell at them like a drill sergeant and shoo them into the packet...but rest assured, eventually they do. And eventually, they go away. Fourth and last--once the ants are gone, if you really want to minimize the chance of a return infestation, I leave these out and I also wipe down *everything* in the house that I can. In my home office that meant wiping down the underside of my desk, every inch of my keyboard tray, the floor, etc. Because ants lay down trails that other ants can follow. You want to wipe those out so the little jerks have to start all over if they get near your home. With luck, they'll get confused and annoyed and go away, but keep in mind, I was really fastidious about keeping food and drink out of the home office and they hung around just the same. My ants came back this year. Within a few days of laying these out again, they were gone once more. Highly recommended, but patience is a virtue.
