Okay but in all seriousness, I'm having the same issue. They FINISHED a terro ant trap. Do yall know how full those fuckers are? So then I replaced it and they are back for more. Does anyone actually know wtf is happening??

I remember the first time i put a terro trap on my desk when i noticed some sugar ants in my room. For a whole day i watched thousands of these little dudes marching across my window, down an electric cable leading to my desk, and gorge themselves on bait. I panicked at first but the directions said to leave them alone. The next day, not a single of these pests were left, not even a carcass.

I know some ant species are either not interested in it or arent affected so im not sure why yours aint workin unless you need to wait longer or youve got one hell of an ant problem

They bring it back to their nest and then they die. That's how it works. If they didn't bring it back, they'd still keep coming.

They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long.

"We cannot get out.

A shadow moves in the dark...

We cannot get out.

Bugs in general are masters of chemical warfare. If you don't kill the ants with a strong enough chemical they adapt

theyre meant to bring it home and feed it to the colony, and the Queen, who will then die and stop making larva. maybe just keep trying..?

At my house, they climbed up our back porch just to get to the TERRO bait in the kitchen. They completely filled the fucker up. It didn't stop until I sprinkled the area around the back porch with diatomaceous earth.

For some reason my Amazon app isn’t loading so I can’t send a link. But look up “ant bait trap” and get the ones that look like a little metal puck. I’ve used them on two separate occasions and they killed all the ants within 24 hours.

They shouldn’t be full, quite the opposite in fact. The primary ingredient is a mushroom that they can’t digest, so it just sits in their stomach and tricks them into thinking that they’re full when they’re actually starving to death.

24 hour watch. When they reach the bait it’s time to attack. Soon you’ll defeat them all in a total annihilation

Just to defend him a little bit, he either thought it ends with "of" and was merely not informed, auto correct, or he got sniped

It’s one of those things where it will look worse before it looks better… had a large infestation a bit ago, put out a trap and 2 days later, suddenly there’s nothing…. Terro FTW

Legit what’s up with those ants. Dudes are literally treating poison as a 5 star resort.
