Containing two refillable bait stations and 25g Nippon Ant Killer Liquid, the Nippon Ant Killer System can be used time and time again, making it a cost-effective option for anyone who has regular ant infestations. Place bait stations where ants have been seen or in out-of-the-way places near walls in cabinets, under sinks and refrigerators and in closets. Even better would be to use Ant Bait Stations to hold Antmaster and protect it from the elements as well as non target species.

Borax is found in some laundry detergents, while fipronil, avermectin, and indoxacarb are used in veterinary medicine to prevent infestation of fleas, ticks and other parasites or to rid an infected animal of these organisms.These products are sometimes referred to as bait stations and are designed to let ants in but keep children and pets out. Advion, like most fire ant baits, is granular, composed of corn grit sprayed with a mixture of soybean oil and indoxacarb. Some of the liquid had spilled onto the floor, but it was unclear how much, if any, the boy had swallowed. Each station comes with a little adhesive pad that allows you to mount it on a vertical surface, or even on the underside of an upper cabinet. The Nippon Ant Killer System is perfect for gardeners and homeowners looking for an easy-to-use solution to their ant problem.

Some baits are protein-based, and an ant’s preference can depend both on the type of ant and the time of year: In the warmer months, a lot of ants “feed on high-sugar, high-carbohydrate things because they’re quick energy,” Ramsey said. Effective for up to one month, in the first instance change the bait every day until ant activity ceases (usually 7 to 10 days). The ants are far too minuscule to tilt it and in fact showed no interest until the liquid inside had spilled out into a big puddle, around which they are gathered like pigs at a trough. This is the older stuff which worked for me in past, unfortunately the liquid within seems thick or dried out.Usually you can spread a few tablespoons near an individual mound or spread the bait across an entire yard. Further complicating matters is the fact that, over time, the soybean oil will go rancid, and fire ants will no longer be attracted to the bait. Ants and crawling insects can be unwelcome visitors to homes and gardens, but Nippon has the solution to controlling them as quickly as possible. We prefer using lower-impact, easy-to-use bait stations rather than spreading and maintaining a granule bait or kill-on-contact pesticide around your entire house.

Nippon Ant Killer Liquid is hazardous to bees and should not be used in areas where food, feed or water could become contaminated.If you treat your yard and get rid of the fire ants and your neighbors don’t,” Vander Meer explained, “then the fire ants from your neighbor’s yard are going to migrate into the vacated space. Over a period of about 7 to 10 days a fatal dose of Nippon Ant Killer Liquid will build up in the queen herself, and eradicate the whole nest. If you see an ant on your kitchen island, you probably won’t be interested in waiting a few days for a package to arrive before you start doing something about the invaders. If I’m putting [the bait] down somewhere where my son may grab it and throw it around,” he said, “I’m not going to get one that’s full of liquid. Ants are highly attracted to Antmaster Ant Killer and a great numbers of ants will be seen around the ant bait for some time after placement.

Our picks in this guide should work with regular household ants, including little black ants, odorous house ants, Argentine ants, acrobat ants, pharaoh ants, and white-footed ants. Plus the extension tube is the perfect tool to inject the spray into wall voids and small openings in the infested wood. When posting, clear close-up pics are best as opposed to videos, and PLEASE give your location or country if outside the US.Placed it, it was not leaking, came back later and it has leaked a bunch of its bait liquid out the front hole onto the surface it is sitting on. So if you see ants only in a spot where the bait station doesn’t fit, you can apply a few drops of bait to a piece of cardboard or (as Rollins’s Ramsey suggested) a bottle cap and set it out. No-one likes to find ants running around in the kitchen or in and out of holes in the skirting board. Another method of treating a fire ant mound is to use a drench, which is a combination of pesticide and water that you pour directly onto the mound.
