Kit includes 4 Antopia 6 ounce bait stations plus 1 quart of Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait. The Antopia bait station is a weather-resistant bait dispensing system with several unique patented features. Antopia employs Feeding Float Technology which reduces evaporation, keeps ants from drowning and make it easier for ants to access the bait and return to their nests, where they share the bait with the colony. Antopia bait stations hold up to 6 ounces of liquid, gel or granular bait in a spill-resistant configuration. Kills ants 24/7 while protecting the environment and beneficial insects. Integrated ABS cover protects the bait from heat, UV light and contamination. Securely anchors in the ground. View ports let you check bait level without disturbing the station. Sturdy construction for years of service. Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait is a boron-based bait that is attractive to most common household ants. It is particularly attractive to the types of ants that have extremely large colonies. The bait is carried back to the colony to kill the queens and has been proven effective by independent university based research conducted in both urban and agricultural settings.

Good design, but still waiting to see positive results.
We thought we'd give this a try for our Argentine ant infestation, in the San Diego region of Southern California. I have used the Terro 1806 (green base with round white cover) outdoor bait stations before, and have had some success with those, but found that they either emptied, or became gummy too quickly, having only a couple of weeks lifetime before requiring some maintenance. I hoped that these Antopia stations would solve some of the issues that we had with the Terro stations. I liked that the heavy green covers of these Antopia stations shielded the bait from the hot sun, and also kept out most all other life except ants. The float design helped to keep the ants from drowning in the liquid bait. The included "gourmet honeydew" formula did attract ants, but not as heavily as the terro formula. After a couple of weeks, I emptied the stations and filled with a terro type formula and got better interest from these ants. We are in the middle of a very, very heavily infested ant area, and so far, even after 3 weeks, we have not seen a reduction in the any population near the stations, but the bait does get removed pretty quickly. We'll keep watching and refilling and see how it goes. I know that with dozens of mega colonies very close by, we may never be able to control the ant population immediately around our home, but we'll give it a few months and make adjustments to optimize the placements.

Stations function well, but the liquid bait barely attracts the variety of ants I have.
Bait Stations are a good design. they can be placed in areas where sprinklers and rain won't affect or dilute the liquid bait. I had high hopes that the liquid bait would attract the masses of Argentine Ants that are infesting my fruit trees, but the variety of ants I am battling barely pay attention to this formula of liquid bait. I have better luck attracting them to a sugar and boric acid mixture I make myself. I thought that the special attractant that this liquid bait has in it would work well, but in my case it doesn't seem too. Your ant varieties may go for it though. In my area of Southern California the small invasive Argentine ants have completely displaced all other varieties which I've seen over the past 30 years.

Doesn't seem to work on NJ carpenter ants from hell
I've had these set up for almost 3 weeks now. 4 around my house where I've seen carpenter ant activity outside or just outside where I've seen them inside. I check them periodically with no activity whatsoever. Today while taking some leaves away from the house I spotted what I assume is a satellite nest. Tons of ants all around a crack in large paver stone. Funny thing is, the bait station is less than a foot away from this spot crack. How is this stuff not working!? Beyond frustrated.

It works!
This got the ants out of my house by placing the bait stations around the outside of my house.Place bait stations per the instructions. I found that if the ants don't find the bait in short order, I wet the ground near the bait station with approx 1/2 gallon of water, which attracts the ants, then they find the bait.

No activity for 2 weeks then noticed some small action ...
No activity for 2 weeks then noticed some small action on 2 of the 4 containers. After a month and a half, I sprayed the foundation with Spectracide, behind cabinets with Borate and several Terro drops. The Terro drops saw the most action. After 3 months the "Crazy Ants were gone.

They have done what I hoped would do. We had ants in the house and after I placed these around the house the ants were no longer in the house. So far it has done what I wanted it to do.

'Gourmet' Honeydew formula doesn't work full strength.
I was really hoping this would be an easy to use product. The ant bait is called 'Gourmet' Honeydew formula. I think this is just marketing hype to make us think the ants are going to love this. Wrong!!! I have the small sugar, protein loving ants, that invade the house every year. I had been using my own homemade bait, with good results and thought this might work even better. The label says it can be used full strength or diluted. I used it full strength and the ants just ignored it. I even placed it right on their path and they just walked around it uninterested. I cooked up some more of my homemade brew and the ants are slurping it down once again. I may try this formula again, diluted with a little sugar water to see if that works. But thus far my brew is working. Haven't had one ant in the kitchen.
