Besides dumping boiling water on the nests, which unfortunately also kills the grass, I use these bait stations to do a lot of the work for me. I placed one on an ant nest on the neighbor's property last year in an area I mow to keep the nasty overgrowth away from my property. I found that I needed the bait stations after I had agitated this nest so much with daily boiling water that by June last year, they were swarming in great numbers along the side of my driveway. (Yes, I washed all those away with more boiling water!) By sometime in August (after about a month's time using Spectracide), there was no ant activity whatsoever.
In October, while mowing over that area my leg went through the sod that was left, down almost to my knee. So the bait station picked up where my boiling water dumps left off last summer and killed off the rest of an apparently very large colony, causing the ground to collapse.
Like I said, these fire ants are everywhere now. This Spectracide product is part of my regimen in controlling them as they are almost impossible to get rid of completely, especially since I will be getting no help from that neighbor. The bait stations are working once again this year, attracting a lot of ant activity to them so the ants can take part in the destruction of their own colony. I am thankful to have these and that they are easy to use. Be aware that squirrels like the smell of the product and may steal and destroy it by biting them. I use a small stone or brick to weigh down the bait station when squirrels become a problem.
The Ant Shield, like the weed killer, it works a long time, I buy subscribe and save only ONE can a year, for us if a mound pops up I spray it and they don’t return until maybe the following year, this stuff is no joke, we spray a outline around our WM trash container once at the beginning of spring and no ants is ever seen on or in the trash container for the year.
Even kills spiders, the wife is a arachnophobia, I wasn’t home one evening so she thought to spray it with the Ant Shield and she said it was dead in under a minute, I was curious how it would work on brown recluse and black widows since I see them quite often on our property, BW dropped dead in about 5 minutes, BR in 2-3 minutes, so makes for a great spider spray as well, i spray around the areas where I use to see them and we don’t see them nowhere near as much as we used to, so their claim it also kills spiders is accurate, unsure about roaches, ticks or the other insects listed, but usually if a spray can kill spider’s then any other insects won’t survive.
It has a typical chemical smell to it, maybe not as strong as the other leading brands, we never use it indoors.
The lid to me comes off easily but there’s resistance, a child should not be able to open it, the wife has a hard enough time too.
Has a excellent spray nozzle, it fans out and saturates evenly, never getting any on ourselves.
Excellent value, cost a little more but saves at the same time, before switching to Spectracide, we would go through 3-4 cans a year of the other brands we’ve used.
Definitely worth it, highly recommend.
