TERRO Ant Dust kills many problem pests including: fire ants and carpenter ants, boxelder bugs, cockroaches, crickets, firebrats, spiders, ticks, wasps and silverfish. This unique, ready-to-use dust is waterproof and won't wash away in the rain. For use indoors or outdoors, Ant Dust kills on contact and provides up to eight months of protection. This product is ideal for crack and crevice treatments and can even be applied directly on top of fire ant hills. Using TERRO Ant Dust is a great way to prepare for future invasions as well as treating the pests at hand. This dust works its best when applied between 65 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Q: Will this work on termites as well? I dont see anything saying it will but I do see that it works on Carpenter ants and wanted to know if it would work on termites as well.

1 Answer
  • A: Howdy neighbor! While TERRO Waterproof Ant Killer Dust kills many insects on contact, it is not labeled or designed to treat termites. Because termites live deep inside structural wood or subterranean tunnels, a surface dust cannot reach the colony to stop an infestation.

Q: Safe on vegetable garden?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. According to the manufacturer, "It is not recommended for use around food. Here are the directions from the website for outdoor use: Outdoors, apply TERRO® Ant Dust around windows and doors, porches, screens, eaves, patios, garages, under stairways, in crawl spaces and other areas where pests like to hide. To help prevent indoor invasions, apply TERRO® Ant Dust thoroughly and uniformly to foundations and crawl spaces where pests are active and may find entrance to your home. To treat fire ant mounds, evenly sprinkle approximately one tablespoon of TERRO® Ant Dust over the top of each mound. Do not water in or disturb the mound. Apply when temperatures are between 65° and 80°F and allow three to four days for maximum control. Repeat application if ants are still active. see less"

Didn't work at all

Didn't work at all. Sprinkled it on outside mounds that had formed in the cracks on my driveway. The powder didn't do anything to the ants.

This did not work for my ants

2 years ago
I use this for a week followed the directions. The ants literally would just move a couple inches over and reestablish. It didn’t work at all.
SweepstakesYes

No, I do not recommend this product.

We are sorry to hear about this experience! If this doesn't attract them, the ants may have found another food source, be seeking a grease-based vs. sugar-based food, or be in the breeding cycle of their colony and not interested in eating. If you continue to be unhappy with your results, you may contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.
