Indoor Ant Bait Stations for Queen and Colony Control in 12 or 24-Station Configurations – Ortho Orthene
Indoor Ant Bait Stations for Queen and Colony Control in 12 or 24-Station Configurations – Ortho Orthene
Indoor ant bait stations let foraging workers carry bait back to the queen and colony, addressing the source of common household ant activity. Ortho Orthene targets listed pharaoh, Argentine, pavement, crazy, ghost, little black and odorous house ants in homes, apartments, garages and other buildings.
Break the connected stations apart and place them label-side down on flat surfaces along ant trails, baseboards, entryways, cabinets, window sills, around pipes or near garbage cans. Ants may begin feeding within 30 minutes, with fewer ants listed in three to seven days. Remove crumbs, sugar, grease and other competing food sources, and avoid locations recently treated with sprays. Replace a station when most bait is eaten or every three months as directed. Choose the exact 12- or 24-station configuration; one listed variant is a 12-station pack-of-12 selection, so verify quantity before purchase.
