Why is Bait Better? Bait is considered one of the most effective methods for killing ants. Bait works even when you can't find the nest and unlike contact pesticides, bait can wipe out the entire colony by destroying the queen. Bait is designed to taste like food, so it is enticing to ants. Once worker ants find the bait, they bring it back to be shared with the queen and the rest of the colony. Once the queen and other ants eat it, the whole mound dies. As a means to ensure that the bait is shared with all the ants in the colony, there is a delayed reaction before the bait begins to take its full effect and kill all the ants in the colony. Therefore, bait is considered to be more effective than contact killers since bait is shared with the entire colony, while contact killers will only kill ants that come into contact with the product. With AMDRO, it's game over for ants. Frequently Asked Questions How long does Ant Bait take to work? The active ingredient in AMDRO works with delayed action, ensuring worker ants have time to share the bait with the colony. Typically, the bait will begin to kill the queen within one week of application and will kill the colony within two weeks of application. If there are ants already inside your home, we recommend doing two things. First, use one of the AMDRO Kills Ants products listed for indoor usage above to kill the ants that are already inside. Second, apply AMDRO Ant Block Home Perimeter Ant Bait granules around the outside of your home to prevent ants from getting inside. Are the ant killer granules safe to use in a vegetable garden? Due to the active ingredients in the granules in our AMDRO Ant Block Home Perimeter Ant Bait, these items are not permitted for use in vegetable gardens. Therefore, vegetable gardens are not an application site where these products can be used. However, we would recommend using any of the Sevin Bug Killer items in your vegetable garden.
