1.2-Lb. Ant Dust

This stuff worked really well! Dusted an oak tree that had carpenter ants!🐜 not a one left!

easy transaction, delivered quickly.

This is my go to ant killer for the outdoors. I use it around the perimeter of the house with extras around my garbage cans and compost bins.

We usually don't have too much trouble with ants. I put baits out when the rain comes in the spring and that usually takes care of them. We did have one weird issue where ants invaded one of our power supplies in our office and ruined it and some other electronics. But that is the only real issue where there were too many ants. So this year, I had the liquid terro baits left over from last year and I put them out in the spring. Worked great! Never saw any ants. Then June came! I have never seen so many ants just literally crawl under my patio door! Now they did die eventually because of all the baits I had out - but I did not like seeing them crawl across the floor. I never saw them in any other room - but I was so tired of it. I was vacuuming them up everyday. I got out the borax. I used the "natural ways." Nothing worked. I bought this dust just out of sheer disgust with the situation! I poured it on the outside of the door (as recommended) and inside all over the floor where the door opens. And then I waited and waited and waited. I never saw another ant. Not even a dead one! It rained very hard the night after I poured this outside! It still worked! I do think you should wear gloves and a mask while spreading this dust. I did and did not have any problems. Also, the dust is kind of hard to spread evenly as others have noted. But that is minor compared to how well this works. From now on, I will keep this on hand and use it every spring to start with.

Terro Ant dust does work, I was able to capture a few carpenter bees and ants in a plastic jar and put a small puff in, like very minor that you can barely see it in the jar. At first they were fine, but I could see they were trying to get something off by cleaning them self or scraping their butt on the ground. In about 10 minutes they are dead, curled up and dead. I've tested this with about 12 ants within a 2 week span, with only the initial dust to kill them all. I guess its good that they die slower so that they can take some of the powder to their nest. So if anyone is wondering if this works for ants and bees the answer is yes. They don't die instantly but in about 10 minutes of just minor contact with this stuff and they will surely die. Even if they just step on it, it will get into their system and kill them. I attached some pictures and you can see there are only like 3 or so crystals of the ant killer and it just killed one, tested today.

It's okay. Didn't work as well as we hoped, although there seems to be less ants. I'm still hoping it will eventually get rid of them if we keep using it. We'll see.

We had a serious carpenter ant infestation behind our fridge. I was killing about 10-20 a day. Sprinkled this powder behind the fridge and down the sides. I saw one ant that evening that was covered in powder and one that had somehow not been touched by the powder, and that was it. I haven't seen a single ant in the last 2 days. Feeling relieved!

I've used the TERRO ant powder for years and it works fine for us. Our ant invasion comes to our patio doors. Our patio is paver bricks. The ants live under the pavers and encroach in the spring and after heavy rains. I lay a powder barrier along the patio doors and wherever ants are emerging. I like the powder because I can see the barrier and it stops them dead. The white powder residue lasts even after heavy rains. If you don't like the look of the powder it can be washed away with brush and garden hose. I now wear a mask when applying the powder. I didn't once and it has a strong after-effect which bothered me.
