Terro Ant Killer 2 day time lapse

Ants found their way into our house on the second floor through inside walls. I checked outside and I know they are coming in through the ground underneath the home. I used Terro as bait to have them bring it back to their colony and I also put a barrier of insect killer around the entrance so ants don't go searching around the house.
this is a 36-48 hour time lapse

This looks like an aerial view of burning man.

For anyone wondering… Terro is a borax-based liquid which, to ants, is a tasty, slow-acting poison: they find it, eat it, carry the extra back to the nest, and share it amongst themselves, including the queen. Within about 24-48 hours, they all begin to succumb to the poison and eventually die. This is why you see the ants gradually diminish by the end of the video.

They stop because there's no more left

@@BKDDY you can clearly see many droplets on the paper

Very well said.

The way Terro works is beautiful. The ants actually hand deliver the poison to the Queen where you could never find or access her. That’s way better than just a preventative measure.

I like how the uploader added more bait throughout the video, this colony must be huge

[@happygolucky9986]

The ants took the poison back to the queen and killed the entire colony

The Ant movie if they had actually collected borax.

Rest in peace you little ones

I think the last ant killer i used gives similar effect. A large colony of ant from no where dies within 3 - 4 days. I wonder if ants will go extinct from earth because of these methods?

just. beautiful.

Did the queen enjoy it 😢

Nice video but a clock showing time that has passed would improve this

[@djcrazy8578]

wat was the point of this, that ants ate the stuff u put down!!

[@carolandericang2862]

They ate it all and they never came back! Actually I noticed by doing this, ants leave a trail for future ants. So the best thing to do is to caulk the opening and so far things are looking good

[@djcrazy8578]

@@carolandericang2862 i wasn't telling u in particular, i was telling the person that made video bc they tell how it works so well n if u clean ur floor with vinegar it cleans up that trail ants leave!!

[@lennykravitz4107]

@@djcrazy8578 it’s sugar water and borax, they eat it and take it back to the queen killing the entire colony, more ants will appear first before the borax kicks in.. by then it’s too late for the colony

[@djcrazy8578]

i used the terro thing n at first i didn't see many ants but they all came back maybe not the same ones n used vinegar before to wipe their trails away but they send out new scouts n the dollar ant traps work best, believe it or not!!
