Q: Can this be used outdoors?
A: They are not designed for outside use. We recommend the Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes for outdoor use.
submitted byWoodstream Team - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Yes. It will need protection from any children(any age), pets, rain/sprinklers and wind. I have used it near ant hills but once the wind flips it or a shower comes, it is useless. I know what you're thinking: Did it work? Yes for the hill. I have no idea if it got the nest. After I lost a few(due to wind, rain and, once, a mower, I gave up trying. They seem to be effective inside as I put one under the microwave about twice a year and it clears the problem.

A: Sorry to hear about the ants issue. There is no recommended number of baits to use. Place baits near trails and other locations where ants are numerous. The more bait placements, the better! Thank you for your question.

Q: Are these the ones with the ramp that the ants can walk up (where you cut a slit in the bottom), or are they the ones with the snap off tab? The ones with the snap off tab are not as effective as the ants cannot get in as easily.
A: Our bait stations with the ramp are no longer manufactured. The newer design is with the twist off tab. The liquid formula has not changed.
