Defiant Premium Liquid Ant Killer, 1-Year Supply, Kills the Queen and Colony, No Mess Precision Bottle, Reusable Ant Traps Indoor & Outdoor, Pest Control Traps, Made in USA

Wow! Put this stuff on Subscribe n' Save. I was at my wit's end with an army of small "sugar" ants in my kitchen, occasional troops in my bathroom, and recon in my office. They arrive inside our house whenever we are between seasons, especially when we have rainy days, followed by warm ones. Nothing makes my skin crawl as much as seeing ants in the house and I've tried everything - or so I thought - to get rid of them without success. Catchmaster DEFIANT Premium Liquid Ant Killer did solve the problem, and I'm so happy! I bought this kit which has the bottle of liquid ant killer and (4) open trays. You could use any shallow tray with this stuff in it and it would work out, but they do sell packs of extra trays too. I cleaned up the visible ants on my kitchen counters, then put out the DEFIANT in the trays along the area I could see the most activity. I put only a few big drops in initially, but didn't get many ants going to the trays, so I decided to add enough liquid ant killer in each tray to cover the bottom of the tray. This was key to getting more ants actively eating up the stuff and taking it away. There was a visible trail (I'd not seen before) of ants going to the trough and then back to their Queen (I'm assuming). For about 12 hours it seemed like I had way too much ant activity, but it was all around the traps. I kept them topped off, adding more liquid as needed. The ant highway slowed to a few within 24 hours, and at 48 hours I no longer see any ants and there is no activity at the traps. This stuff was effective and worked quickly. It is sticky, but there's no odor for humans. The trays are open, so they could be accessible to pets, which since we have a cat and dog was a concern. The trays are small and flimsy. If you run out, you could even use a plastic bottle cap or lid to a jar and it would work the same way. Whatever this stuff is, it attracts and eliminates ants in about 48 hours. The bottle is not a 1-year supply (my opinion), but well worth the price for pest elimination with very little hassle. I highly recommend it for apartments, dorm rooms, houses, offices, and areas outside where you can see ant activity.

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 EDIT UPDATE 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 EDIT I 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.

After dealing with a steady stream of ants in the kitchen, I picked up the Catchmaster DEFIANT Liquid Ant Killer, hoping for something more effective than the usual quick fixes. I wanted something that would handle the problem at the source, not just what I could see. What stood out right away was how easy it is to use. The precision bottle makes it simple to place just the right amount without creating a mess. Within a short time, I noticed fewer ants, and over the next couple of days, the activity really dropped off. I like that it targets the colony rather than just the visible ants. It feels like a more complete solution, and the reusable traps are a nice bonus for long-term use. As easy and fast as it is to apply, clean-up is just as easy. I dripped a few drops, not paying attention to what I was doing, and clean-up was as easy as I could ask for. It’s a bit sticky, so use just a little soap and water on a paper towel if you need to wipe it up.

Oh my goodness. I have tried many products for that occasional oderous ant infestation that most of us can suffer from. This stuff is amazing, even more than amazing. It comes with 4 ant swimming pools and plenty of tasty ant bait. I placed it in my master bath on the counter as I was tired of watching the ants run around another popular brand and woke up the next day with a trap that was pure black with ants and hundreds more scurrying to dive in as well. This secret sauce is irresistable to your problem and those who don't drown go back to the nest. Ants are a very clean insect and therefore clean each other so when you clean your buddies it may be the last bath you take... Ants can be cannabilistic and therefore may eventually eat the dead which is another strong asset of Defiant. Last but not least its crazy as it appears like they clean up the dead and I guess pack these back to the nest as well. I am on day 5 and calculate thousands of pests have enjoyed theirselves basking in this wonderful elixir and clean up most of the mess after. It is easy to set up just place the trap down and squeeze a little sauce on and leave it, no odor, no harsh poison, ants love this and it works awesome. The product is mildly sticky ot ensure contact and as these problems take a bit to irradicate starts working immediately! Under $10...I say give it a try as you'll be happy with the results!

I bought this with the plan to eliminate an ant colony near my front door behind the baseboard - must be in the wall area. There is no ant trail outside anywhere near this area. With all the great reviews I had high hopes. I put out 2 bait stations, and while it DID draw out a lot of ants, there didn’t see to be a lot of interest in the 2 stations. They are the very tiny black ants… After 3 days with a huge number crawling all around the area (and only a few interested in the bait stations), I decided to double-down and put out the other 2 stations, all within a 2-ft area. With the 1st 2 stations, wondering what was happening to the liquid I originally put in, I added another small pool of liquid on the other side of the station. It is now 10 days later and I am NOT noticing the ‘expected decrease in population during the 2nd week’. Actually the opposite seems to be true, I’m noticing some larger black ants - still small, but larger than the original teeny-tiny original ones - they seem to be growing and thriving on this bait! And, there are more teeny-tiny ones - likely newborns. I DID answer my question of what happens to the liquid that sits in the trays! With the total exposure to air, most of the moisture dries out of it, leaving a SUPER-STICKY THICK messy residue that’s hard to get out! With a small plastic garbage bag nearby and plenty of paper towels, I managed to get MOST of the super-concentrated thick sticky ick out. There was still some attached to the plastic tray, so I took it to a sink and managed to get it out with very warm water - I needed clean trays for my “pass 2” of refilling all 4 stations to sit for another week. I’m not happy letting ANY of the messy sticky residue down the drain, but I didn’t see another option. They manufacturer really needs to supply about 30 of the trays and state that they are for single use - dispose of the whole thing after a few days and then refill new ones. I will give it one more week, and then after 2 weeks if there are still a lot of ants, I’ll contact my pest control company to do their thing. I was hoping to be able to take care of this myself! It seems like the most ants getting exterminated are those that crawl into the sticky mess in the tray and then can’t get out! So much for the “take the bait back to the nest” concept! Personally, I think the terro bait ‘houses’ work better - the clear plastic rectangles where you snip off the end, leaving a ‘ramp’ for the ants to get up to the bait’! And now I feel like I have teeny tiny ants crawling on me, from the time I sat nearby their area with paper towels, trying to remove the sticky goopy mess! As you can see, I’m NOT happy with this product at all!

Did not work that well for me. I put this out for a week. It dries up and becomes hard so you have to keep replenishing every day. Ants were eating it but they never completely went away. After a week there was still a steady flow of ants. I would recommend Advion ant gel. That stuff will kill ants after2 to 3 days. I do not recommend the Advion gel trap since very little gel in the trap and it was already drying up.

This poison is amazing! I read the reviews and decided to modify how I delivered it to my destructive "friends". Rather than using the included trays, I put down 6 inch strips of that blue painter's tape in locations (out of reach from pet access) on the floor where the carpenter ants were frequently seen. I applied a bead of of this poison on the tape so it is easily accessible to the ants by to chance upon and any mess can be removed by simply taking up the tape. The first night I counted at least ten ants drinking the stuff from one of the high traffic locations. The next morning only one there so the others must have returned to the nest. We used to see "scouts" at various locations throughout our home. Lately, none! I check each tape and add more as the poison dries and thickens, but have found less visitors each night. I think I might put on some nitrile gloves and remove and properly dispose of the poison blue tape strips now that the ants are apparently dead. I recommend this product especially the way I used it (described above).

This stuff really works and is priced affordably especially compared to the other big name brand. I've used those other longer thin packets that you just break the tab and set but ants seem to get stuck in them and then they get thrown away. I like that these trays are reusable. I also like having the bottle to reload the tray when needed. Much less expensive and does the same job. Thanks
