The media could not be loaded. UPDATE EDIT April 9,2025:I have been using this on and off since my initial purchase. Except for the first usage, where the ants [seemingly] showed utter disdain for the liquid ant bait flavor, it has proven to be very effective at its intended purpose. They now seem to love it. I upgraded my review to 5 star.Maybe it is an acquired taste.END OF APRIL 9, 2025 UPDATE EDITUPDATE EDIT:Sep. 11, 2024 UPDATE: Today I found ants feeding on the Liquid Ant Bait. It has been 20 days since I placed the ant bait on my window sill, with the ants showing ZERO interest - until today! (I did not add any new liquid ant bait; I left the bait stations alone for 20 days with the original ant bait that I placed in them.) Now the ants were swarming around it like it was a feeding trough. (NOTE: I did add additional fresh ant bait AFTER the ants started arriving.)The video that I shared shows the ants shortly after I noticed them. The quantity of ants increased significantly after I shot the video, but I did not record any additional video. The ants fed on it for approximately 12 hours - a constant stream of ants coming and going for a large portion of that time. The ants eventually stopped and departed - every single one - even though there was still plenty of ant bait in the bait stations. There were no dead ants around the bait stations, which I found interesting. I also found it interesting that the ants just completely stopped coming.One other noteworthy item: I placed an additional amount of ant bait on the kitchen counter (near the stream of ants) without using a bait station (thus the ant bait was in contact with the counter and the painted kitchen wall). Some of the ants veered off of the main path to feed on this additional glob of ant bait. However, after all of the ants had departed, there were approximately 20 dead ants near this new glob that I had added. So it appears that the ant bait is effective.I updated my rating from a 1 to a 3. I just wish the ant bait had a more appealing flavor so the ants would be quickly drawn to it and gorge themselves. I believe that would make the product more effective.One more note: The product manufacturer contacted me, stating that they would like to address any issues or concerns - that customer satisfaction was important to them. I did not respond, but I did appreciate them reaching out to me. Thank you.END OF UPDATE EDITI had a great opportunity to try this product today. I have had ants [intermittently] for a while now, so I ordered this Liquid Ant Bait. It arrived yesterday. This morning when I went to my kitchen, there were thousands of ants feasting on some banana bread and muffins that were in unsealed packaging from the manufacturer. After removing the banana bread and muffins, I put a little of this Liquid Ant Bait in two of the Bait Stations, positioned them very close to where the stream of ants was coming in (the wall outlet), and even brushed a number of ants into one of the Bait Stations (to help give them a taste). I left the 2 Bait Stations out for quite some time while there were still many ants roaming around, searching for lost pastries. The ants just basically ignored the Liquid Ant Bait. Even the ants that I forced into the Bait Station departed - along with every other ant in the kitchen - without so much as a second glance. Apparently, the ants did not find the Liquid Ant Bait to be nearly as delicious as the banana bread. I did, however, see one dead ant in the liquid ant bait. I think it most likely drowned when I pushed it and its friends into the Bait Station.I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AT ALL. I think it only killed one ant - probably by drowning.

I know people always say this, but I never write reviews, and I never trust them because companies give people free items for 5 star reviews… but this isn’t about review culture.I moved into a home that had some very poor carpentry done, and there are several cracks in the floor where the hardwood was not cut long enough to fit under the wall. The ants moved in as soon as the weather broke in groves, and have been throwing cookouts in those cracks ever since. After seeing an assembly line of ants carrying the crumbs my toddler dropped back into the floor crack, I had had enough.Fast-forward, I buy this.When I say this worked, instantly! I was excitedly disgusted. I set the bait trap next to the floor cracks that had the most activity. I came back 5 minutes later and 2/4 of them were covered in ants, taking the bait back to the nest. The other 2, took some time (maybe an hour) to start seeing an activity, so don’t feel like it’s not working if you don’t see immediate results.I saw someone say don’t remove the dead ants, as they’ll take their fallen homies back to the nest as well. I didn’t believe that part. There were a good 50 that didn’t make it out the bait. After, they were done dining on the death goop, the trap was clear!Love that the traps are reusable. I rotated them around to different spots. The best part, no dead ants to clean out. The goop stuff is super sticky, so I would handle with gloves and not let any drop on any surfaces. I got a little on my finger and didn’t die, but I wouldn’t eat it. Probably will have different results.It’s been 3 days, and I no longer see gang activity in the areas where I laid the traps, so it defly worked. You will not be disappointed. Disgusted, but not disappointed. A fraction of the cost of pest control and in minutes. You need this for the ant gangsters, trust me.

Doesn't kill the large ants.

At first I only had 1 ant come. Soon after a few more join. Within 20 minutes I had a full tray. They drank everything. The next day, they were all gone. I even try outside, but there are too many. I think it works fine for indoor catch. Doesn't smell but be aware that many ants will come. So if you already have ants, expect many more on the initial day. After that they will disappear. Good value .

I have bought the liquid bait and extra bait stations twice in the last few months. I was attracted by the fact that the bottle of ant bait was good for filling 50 bait stations, which are also reusable. Also, the bait stations have multiple openings, so ants would have more chances to get to the bait. Today I tried to refill the bait stations, and it was messy. The bait stations have to be kept very level, or the sticky ant bait spills out. I ended up using about a third of the bottle to refill around 8 stations. I had some TERRO prefilled ant bait stations from a previous purchase. It turns out the TERRO ant bait uses the same active ingredient as this Catchmaster. I’m going back to TERRO the next time I need more ant bait.

The product is fine for any type of ant bait and they are easy to use. Be warned, you are not getting 16 stations, you are getting 16 PIECES, They make 8 stations, which is quite misleading.
