The TERRO liquid ant baits are by far the most effective ones I've used. I think I've tried several brands. I've tried the non-liquid baits from the same brand.
I found the TERRO liquid baid is the most effective one at attracting ants and stopping them within 2 to 3 days.
From the manufacturer
TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes
Long-term control of pesky sweet-eating ants is a piece of cake with TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes. This highly effective, unique liquid baiting technique kills the ants you see, and the ants you don’t. To use, simply place the pre-filled ant bait stakes into the ground near areas where ants have been observed. Then sit back and relax. Your work is complete.
How Liquid Ant Bait Works
When the stakes are first placed in the ground, initially you will see more ants because this is a bait product. But don't worry - this is a good thing! Why? As ants forage for food, they are easily attracted to the sweet, sugary liquid inside the bait stations. After finding the bait, worker ants consume it and leave behind a pheromone trail leading back to the colony. This trail lets other worker ants know where the newly discovered food supply is. This is why you will see more ants in the beginning.
Meanwhile, the active ingredient, Borax, is slowly interfering with the ant’s digestive system, ultimately eliminating it, but leaving enough time for the ant to go back and share the dose with the rest of the colony. This slow kill is necessary so that foraging ants can make several trips to the bait. The communal nature of an ant colony allows the bait to be spread to hundreds, if not thousands, of individual ants.
How to Use
TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes come pre-filled and ready-to-use. Simply place the stakes in outdoor areas where you see traces of ants. Apply the stakes near the perimeter of your home, especially near entrances where you think they may be getting inside. To use, break off the activation tab and place in the ground. No tools are needed to push the stake in, just your hand.
In addition, the see-through window enables you to monitor the bait level so you know when it’s time to be replaced. When bait is empty, dispose stakes in the garbage. For your convenience, the stakes are weatherproof, offering protection in any condition. The more bait placements, the better.

Terro Outdoor Bait Awesome for Tiny Red Fire Ants in Trees
I recently found out I had Tiny Red Fire Ants when they stung me when I was picking fruit from my trees. I researched and was told Fire Ants prefer food higher in Protein more than sweets or grease, so bought 3 different products specifically for Fire Ants. Amdro is supposed to be the BEST against TRF Ants. So I spread it around and the TRF ants just ignored it. Thought the granules were too large for them to carry? But my black ants went nutz and took all the bait (had a black ant problem too). I always used Terro indoor traps for my indoor ant infestation but this time it didn't work as well on the black ants. Anyway, once I spread the Andro, drastic reduction in black ants. But no impact on the target TRFants. Finally figured out these Tiny Fire Ants prefer Tree sap, lived in trees more than in mounds in the dirt. Tried the Sweet Amdro traps but still they ignored it...I then bought every product Terro sold, the liquid drops put in beer caps in trees, put drops in the crooks of the trees, took some of my indoor terro traps and attached them to the trees with twist ties, etc...I even bought green plastic bait traps stakes, filled half with granules, half with liquid bait...But by far, the best was when I tied the Outdoor staked Terro Traps in the crook of the trees...(see Photo). Finally, the TRFant showed interest and I am hopeful that it will help to wipe them out. Suggestion: Use a sharp pruner or scissors to cut the tab off the end of the bait. Instructions says to snap tab off, but most would break off at the ends, not enough to open the bait up. More success by cutting it either before or after placement.Thank you Terro! Will be ordering more.
