Also, stop complaining because they're there attracted to the scent of your gooey mess in your white trash house. Keep a house in ship shape and you avoid ants unless they are carpenter ants. Moron. P.s. cinnamon works great and it's becaus eit works on an evolutionary scale. Cinnamon trees have evolved to protect themselves against critters so use it for your benefit.

I hat ants and truly want to destroy the colony. Taro does not work. Taro does not work.

We've had it out for over a week now and all I see is ants every where....the one in my bathroom is infested, they are definitely getting in it but I don't see that it's doing anything. I can spray them with windex and they die instantly, but of course my husband won't let me while we have these terro thingys, he wants to see if they will take it back to their nest and kill all of them, but I'm getting a little weary of the ants crawling on everything. I'm starting to wander if we are living on an ant hill or something. Ok, how long does this terro stuff take?

You probably used Cinnamon sticks which is nowhere near as powerful. Cinnamon Oil, especially Ceylon Cinnamon Leaf Oil works to get rid of black Ants and all kind of other creatures that make your home their home. It’s not toxic, child safe, pet friendly. Cinnamon Oil is an anti-microbial and disinfectant so you can even spray your ant covered fruit bowl with the fruit in it or that cake that is covered with black ants. Just make sure you use only 1% Cinnamon Oil with 99% water. Anything more it will irritate your skin or tongue but it won’t kill you. If you put a drop of Cinnamon Oil into your daily cleaners, then ants will never be a problem. And only a whiff is needed and they run.

I have a recurring ant problem, and the Terro cut them down majorly last year, but they have come back in force this spring. I'm back to using terro, and am going to get some boric acid and make a little stronger batch (I'll get those little bastards) and see what happens. On red ants I used some yellow crystals of ant poison (can't remember the name) and they would kill multiple colonies within 2 hours, but the little house ants were too small to deal with it so it didn't work for them.

She has to wear disposable underwear & we have pads on her bed, so we have a problem with ants, but I didn't want to put out poison, as we have pets & small nieces & nephews that frequently visit. I was told about the corn meal method, tried it for an entire month, but would come in & find my mother CRAWLING with ants. Maybe for a small ant infestation, but I finally used Terro & got rid of 'em. Should have done it sooner! Yeah, tried this, it DID NOT WORK.

I made homemade terro (borax, sugar, and water mixture) and I let them feast, but they still live. Time to try the real terro! Today, I even was just watering my plants and I got some on the rocks, and thousands of ants poured out! I found their "ant highway" into the concrete and then who knows where! There's also another colony in my garden by my driveway and I tried the ant chemicals for te perimeter and it doesn't work. I have been so frustrated since the problem started (first day of spring break). If terro won't work, then nothing will. If anyone has any other suggestions to help, let me know. Thanks.

I made homemade terro (borax, sugar, and water mixture) and I let them feast, but they still live. Time to try the real terro! Today, I even was just watering my plants and I got some on the rocks, and thousands of ants poured out! I found their “ant highway” into the concrete and then who knows where! There’s also another colony in my garden by my driveway and I tried the ant chemicals for te perimeter and it doesn’t work. I have been so frustrated since the problem started (first day of spring break). If terro won’t work, then nothing will. If anyone has any other suggestions to help, let me know. Thanks.

I'm having this problem too and I too live in an older home. I liked this article so much that I put a link to it on my own blog because I'm sure that there are people out there that are having the same problem and are looking for solutions! This blog has four pages of comments and I'm going to read them all! I'm especially wanting the solutions that are non-chemical because I have pets as well.

Its a broken record, I have ants AGAIN! The numbers are biblical. Terro did kill them when they came in, but they just keep coming! I clean up piles of em, but it never stops until winter. Got a few ideas from here, CORN MEAL, who knew? Wish I knew that a few years and a few hundred dollars ago. Im trying that TODAY! Thanx, to the author of this site. You ROCK! Rob in Lexington, Il.
