These traps worked within 24 hours. We have had no.problems with ants since we put these traps out.

We were killing ants (they love the dog food) for about 3 weeks with no end in sight. Finally we broke down and bought the ant bait. I put it out as soon as it came in (9pm) and spent an hour killing ants in the dog food, then moving it to the sink (we filled the sink it with just enough soapy water to keep ants from getting in or out). By the next morning the flood of ants had slowed to a river. And by 9pm it had slowed to a trickle. A certain percentage of the ants did pass up the bait and were looking for other food, so we made sure to kill anyone who passed the bait (otherwise we let them come and go to and from the bait). We also continued to kill the ants coming out of the dog food. The ones in the dog food lasted much longer than the ones outside.Within a couple days the ants were completely gone. It's only been a week or so since then, but there's no sign of them coming back and the bait looks like it's still got some in there. Also it came with 4 tins (and an extra in plastic) so there's plenty left for any new invasions. I really like that they are in metal containers that make it harder for the dog to get inside. But he does know how to throw things up in the air and knock the insides out, so I made sure to put it in the ant's path, but under a rolling cabinet that I knew he couldn't get under. I love that Ortho is American made as well. Only thing I'm not sure about is what do you do with the empty tin? Safe to throw away? Guess I have some research to do.Update: This worked great for the first 2 traps. Unfortunately, the newest batch of ants is ignoring the bait. Did the first batch not get fully wiped out and they learned? Dunno, but I'll be trying another brand in hopes they can take the bait again

I live in Nicaragua, the ant capital of the world. This stuff has no effect on them. The one nest has managed to empty all of the tins and is still going strong.I used this in Canada with amazing success. I guess they are just built differently here.

They didn't work at all. Every place I put them, they don't work. I even put two next to each other. The ants won't crawl into them.

These ant traps function as expected and were easy to place indoors. However, the product was advertised as a mix of metal cans and slim plastic traps, and the package I received included only the plastic traps.The plastic traps may work just as well, but I specifically wanted the can-style traps, so the mismatch between the description and what was received was disappointing. Performance-wise, they seem fine so far.Overall, this would have been a higher rating if the contents matched the product listing more accurately.Overall they do work effectively. No smell.

It works, I use in the laundry room, kitchen, porch. Effective all summer. My cats bat them around like a hockey puck.

This is the one to get! I'd had a problem with small ants coming in along my kitchen baseboard, from under a cement slab beneath my apartment. I wanted to buy the kind of traps that will not only kill the ants that eat the bait, but will kill the rest of the colony with the poison the others bring back. It's also important to me that the traps be friendly for humans and animals. These traps do it all. The bait is solid, not liquid, but the solid does crumble and a bit will come off on whatever you use to punch the holes with. The holes in the traps allow the ants to enter. Bait is contained inside the trap, and you just punch holes along the perforations so the critters will smell the bait and come inside the trap. You'll need to use firm pressure with a throwaway pen, pencil, or wood stick to punch the holes. There is no smell that I noticed, and I am very chemically sensitive. I put out the traps January 27, and within 24 hours, I had a large number of ants on the floor, surrounding one of the four traps I put out along the wall where the ants had been coming in. Most seemed to be dead or barely moving. After I cleaned them away, over the next three days, I saw a minimal number of ants around some of the traps. Right away, I cleaned everything I found that wasn't moving or barely moving (I left the fast-moving ones to head back to the colony). By the fourth day, I saw NO ANTS at all. It's now Feb. 3 and I haven't seen a single ant since Jan. 31. I'm planning to leave the traps out for a month total, just in case. My experience has shown that the ants, once they ingest the poisoned bait, don't always make it back to the colony. Hence, the "stunned" or dead ones that I had to clean away. Obviously, enough made it back to the colony to bring the poison and kill the rest. Grade: A+ for effectiveness and convenience of use, and the traps are inexpensive (just under $10.00 for four of them).

Highly recommended, it works very well.

فعال ماشاء الله

The ants attacked these little canisters and loved whatever was in them. In a few days, I saw very few ants around the house.

Doesn’t work. Ants are still there more than a week after
