These traps worked right away. Ants are gone! Thank you! Review: Hot Shot ant baits are my go-to for getting rid of ant invasions. The baits are so simple to use. Just break the bait house off from the set of 2 and place it or them in the line of the ants or where you believe they might be coming in to your house. I like to place them where children and pets can’t get to them because they smell like peanut butter which is what attracts the ants, but I don’t want them to be a temptation. The housing for the bait allows you to handling them without touching the bait itself which makes them much safer than using liquids. I feel safe placing them on the edges of counter tops if there are no children in the house. They can be placed further in to keep them out of reach if needed. Ants are drawn to the peanut butter and take it back to the nest and it kills the colony. If I have a heavy infestation it can take a couple of days to be fully effective but if I catch them right away I can stop an infestation from starting. During a very hot, dry period my sister had a huge infestation that was coming into her home looking for water and then food. This even though her husband was spraying ant and spider spray all around the exterior of their home. Ants are persistent when they need water. Ants were not only all over their kitchen island they were also coming up drain pipes under their home and swarming the bathroom sinks and tubs and into their laundry room. We placed bait traps behind trash cans, between the washing machine and the wall and just under the open bag of dog food. In one day the ants in the bathrooms and laundry room were gone. In the kitchen simply sprayed a bleach and water combo on the counters once a day and wiped them dry so the ant tracks hauling away the poison were eliminated in seconds with no residual. Please keep in mind that Lysol products have to sit on counter tops etc for 15 minutes to kill germs and poison ant tracks where a mix of 1/4 cup bleach to 6 cups of water kill everything on contact and leave no residue. That’s my public service bit. lol Bottom Line: This is a fabulous product and you should try it. If you’re infested with ants give the traps a couple of days to work but if the ants are just starting to appear, one day should do the trick. Leave the baits in place to catch the stragglers.

I had those big black ants in our new apartment so bought these to try. I never seen the ants go in them but I did notice a great decrease in them in our place after a week or so. They were easy to use and fit well in the corners out of sight.

They should have a "ramp" on the front for the ants to have a feast.. then disappear. This does get rid if them.
