How Does Terro Kill Ants

I’m writing this article to address a question that I believe is on the mind of many Americans — especially those who live in or have ever visited Georgia, Louisiana, or Mississippi. The question is: How do the ants taste in Terro ant killer baits? Did you know that we here at Terro are constantly working on new ways to get rid of ants? After all, if it worked 100 years ago, then why not keep working on it in the hopes that we can make it better for consumers today?

While some people may call these creepy little critters “tiny monsters”, they do serve a vital role in nature. Ants play a big role in the food web and most of their diets consist of aphids, mealybugs, and other small insects (don’t get too excited). Ants feed little to nothing on plant material and only really bother us if they find their way into our homes. Terro® has labeled ants as the ‘world’s greatest insect predator’ due to its ability to trap and eliminate them without artificial chemicals or poisons.

We’ve all been there. We wake up, head to the kitchen to pour ourselves a delicious bowl of cereal, only to find a horrifying site — ants! Yuck! What do you do? You don’t want to poison yourself or your home. This is where Terro ant bait comes in. Terro Ant Bait is NOT a poison. It’s actually an insect growth regulator that works by confusing the ants so they can no longer recognize other ants as food sources, thereby stopping the spread of disease, death, and fungal growths within the ant colony. While watching the ants pick up the bait and take it back to share with their family might seem like sadistic entertainment if you’re into that kind of thing (and let’s be honest we all are), it’s really just nature taking its course. So you’ve got ants in your house and you’re wondering what to do. Your first step should be to make sure you’ve correctly identified the type of ant, so go grab a magnifying glass and read this article.

Ants have many natural enemies such as birds, lizards, spiders, bats and other insects. However these predators cannot control the population of most species of ants because they live in large colonies with thousands of individuals that can reproduce quickly during warm weather months when food supplies are plentiful.
