About This Product
With TERRO Ant & Roach Bait, you get two solutions in one convenient station, eliminating the need for multiple products. The slender profile and sturdy design make this bait station perfect for placement along baseboards, in corners, on counters, under and behind appliances, on windowsills and near garbage cans. For your convenience, each of the 4 bait stations come pre-filled and ready to use. The stay-fresh tab will keep the liquid fresh until opened. When ready to use, simply break off the tab and place where insects are numerous. Since this is a bait product, you will initially see more insects as they are attracted to the stations. After the bait is consumed, insect populations will begin to decline. The liquid bait, in the top portion of the trap, is specifically designed to allow worker ants to consume the product, survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the nest and deliver a dose to the rest of the colony. Ants enter the trap, consume the liquid ant bait and return to the nest where they pass on the bait to the rest of the colony. The active ingredient in the bait slowly interferes with the ants' digestive systems, eventually killing them. The paste bait, located in the base of the trap, contains protein to attract and kill roaches and silverfish, as well as non-sweet-eating ants. Insects are able to access the bait through 3 different entry points. After consuming the bait, they will slowly die.

Questions & Answers
Can this also kill moths? Are they attracted to the borax-sugar mixture?
The 2 oz. Indoor Liquid Ant and Insect Killer is designed to control ants and other insects listed on the product label. It is not labeled or tested for moths, so we cannot recommend it for moth control. The borax-sugar mixture is formulated as an ant bait and is intended to attract ants. Moths are not expected to be attracted to this bait.
Does this kill Carpender ants?
Why does it say in the Home Depot description that it kills Carpenter ants, if it doesn't?
TERRO® 2 oz. Indoor Liquid Ant and Insect Killer has been tested on many common household ants, but Carpenter ants are not listed on the label as a tested pest. Because it hasn’t been specifically evaluated for Carpenter ants, we can’t recommend it for that use, but, we do have other products that can work with them, you can check the options we have available to use against them in our website.
After a few days of working great, it almost appears as if ants are avoiding the many places I put the liquid bait down. Do ants get smarter and avoid it? Definitely don’t appear to be attracted to it any more.
Hi, thank you so much for your question! What’s happening is likely due to the ants being in a different phase of their breeding or foraging cycle, which can affect their interest in bait. We recommend continuing to use the product consistently for at least two weeks—results typically show after that period.
Can this product be used outdoors? The package does not state but the store description specifies indoor use.
Thank you very much for contacting us. This product is recommended for indoor use only. If you are looking for an option to use outdoors, we suggest our Outdoor Ant Bait Stations and Outdoor Ant Bait Stakes. The Outdoor Stakes are designed to be staked around your house and along visible ant trails, while the Outdoor Bait Stations have a flat surface that makes them suitable for areas like garages, decks, and patios.
Will this harm indoor potted plants?
This product can be used in a raised flower bed. It is not recommended for use in a raised vegetable garden bed
Does this kill fire ants?
This is not recommended for fire ants.
Will Terro mess up my hardwood floors
The product is made of borax, sugar, and water. Over time, this can harden and may become difficult to remove. We recommend placing the bait on a non-porous surface such as a piece of tinfoil to prevent any spills from touching the hardwood floors.
Will this work for grease ants?
This product is not recommended for grease ants. It is for sweet eating ants only.

8 oz. Drain Insect Killer Aerosol Spray (2-Pack)
TERRO Drain Insect Killer is a powerful solution designed with a dry foam formulation that contains 3 Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). Unlike liquid drain products, this unique formulation reduces the chances of missed areas and provides full-contact, 360° coverage, making it highly effective in tackling and preventing insect infestations. The IGRs in TERRO Drain Insect Killer disrupt the normal development of immature drain flies, fruit flies, and roaches. Additionally, it disrupts the normal life cycle of drain flies and fruit flies, effectively eliminating them during their pupal stage, thereby breaking the cycle of infestation. To effectively use TERRO Drain Insect Killer, apply the foam into and around the downspout and catch basin to cover the entire area. When treating a double-basin sink, be sure to apply it in both drains. Use the convenient fold-up extension tube for precise application into the pipes. It's important to thoroughly coat these areas, as fly larvae tend to develop in the scum buildup on the sides of drainpipes. The visible foam formulation ensures that no areas are missed during application. This product can be used on all types of pipes. Depending on the severity of the infestation, it's recommended to repeat the application every 2 to 4 weeks.
