Nisus Niban Granular Bait, Weather-Resistant, Boric Acid Formula, Ants, Roaches, Crickets, Slugs & Snails, Indoor/Outdoor Use, 4 lbs

We had an earwig infestation in our lawn last year. I watched a local pest control company apply this on our neighbor's lawn. I automatically ordered from Amazon, and now we have the creepy lawn invaders dead! Those works great for ants as well.

This stuff works great. We had sprickets in our laundry room and garage. After using this, they were all gone.

Works pretty well I stay on top of these ants and I usually win and they stay gone for a while.

While I have a service handle pest control around my house, I don't want them anywhere near my hives (nor, do they want to be). But, that doesn't mean I won't ask what they are using!They routinely lay a barrier out from the house and told me it was Niban and was used primarily for cockroaches, but also, ants and other crawling insects. I had an ant and cockroach problem around my hives, so I grabbed some of this to see if it worked. And, it does - to a pretty good degree.The granular product is ignored by the bees, so there is no fear of poisoning the hive. The insects take the bait back to the nest and feeds to others - killing the nest is the desired outcome. In my case, it kept the pests under control, but wasn't perfect. I believe that is because the food source (i.e. sugar water) is within the perimeter, so I am not sure too much bait was being transported back to the nest. But, the numbers of pests dropped to a manageable level, so I was happy enough to reorder a bulk bag this year.I rate it as a good buy.

For many reasons that I won't list here, we have an extraordinary number of ants around our home, and I’m on ant duty year-round in our climate. We have a variety of ant species, except (thank goodness) for fire ants. This has become a personal mission that led me to learn a lot about ants and deterrents, especially nontoxic products and home remedies that will not harm our pets or wildlife. I bought the large bag of Niban granular bait and applied the product as directed to the letter. I’ve been patient and monitored the ants’ behavior, with the understanding that baits can take a long time to work, and ant activity often increases before seeing results. Weeks later, the product is clearly visible and has not been washed away by rain, yet we have more ants than ever. They appear to be attracted to it, as evidenced by the explosion of ants in the area, but they are not carrying the bait away or decreasing in number over time. They are literally walking right over it on their way to our home. Again, these are different varieties of black ants, all apparently disinterested in "taking the bait". This product has a 4.2-star average rating, so it must work for some users, but there are quite a few 1-star reviews by people for whom this bait did not work; perhaps there are differences in response based on species or region. For us, the search for an effective outdoor ant bait that won’t harm animals continues.

I have always made use of this for my pest control business to keep exterior pests under control especially between quarterly services. I can definitely tell the difference when this isn't used.

Live out in the country and grasshoppers was eating the vegetables faster than I could grow them and I don't know if the infestation was just to great or if it didn't work but I did find a spray that would get rid of them for 3 weeks before having to spray again.
