What Are The Different Types Of Ant Baits?

There are 3 types of ant baits in this collection.

  • Bait stations

    Closed, ready-to-use stations for indoors, plus TERRO outdoor stations on stakes. Raid and Wilson stations are child-resistant, as their makers say.

  • Gel baits

    Syringes or tubes of gel for cracks and crevices. The Ortho and ECOPEST gels are also registered for cockroaches.

  • Liquid bait

    A 100 mL bottle of Ortho liquid bait for spot treatment, a few drops at a time.

What Should You Look For In An Ant Bait?

  1. Canadian registration

    Every bait here carries a PCP registration number, shown in its specs.

  2. Which ants

    Raid Max Liquid, STEM, Ortho gel and ECOPEST name carpenter ants in their registration. TERRO liquid baits are made for sweet-eating ants.

  3. Indoor or outdoor

    Raid and STEM baits are for indoors. TERRO outdoor stations go outside, and Wilson traps go in the house or outside where ants come in.

  4. Active ingredient

    Borax, boron (disodium octaborate), abamectin or spinosad, as each registration says.

How Do You Use Ant Baits?

  • Read and follow the label of every bait.
  • Place baits where you see ants and along their trails. Raid suggests putting all its stations out at the same time.
  • Do not spray insecticide on or near the baits: ants need to carry the bait back to the nest.
  • Leave the baits in place while ants feed. STEM says to remove its stations once ants are controlled and dispose of them as the pack says.
