TERRO Ant Killer Plus Multi-Purpose Insect Control, 3 lb Shaker Bag

Last summer we had skunks digging up the yard at night - going after the grub population in our turf. The lawn looked like someone had taken a hand spade to it in patches every morning. This spring we put in fresh plant beds and I started seeing grubs in the soil as I worked. That was enough to get ahead of it. I put down GrubEx about eight weeks ago, watered it in, and let it work. The results have been clear: no skunk damage this season, the lawn is full, and when I dig around the new plants I am not finding the grubs I was seeing in early spring. For a single-application product at this price, that is the result I was hoping for. WHAT WORKS - One application covers 5,000 sq ft for the full season. Cost per square foot is reasonable compared to hiring a lawn treatment company. - Easy to spread with a standard broadcast spreader. Granules are uniform and do not clump. - Visible results within weeks. By week 4 I had stopped seeing fresh skunk damage. By week 8 the lawn had filled in and the new beds are undisturbed. - Set-it-and-forget-it timing. Spring application, done for the season - no follow-up needed. WHAT DOES NOT - You absolutely have to water it in. The instructions say this, but it is worth repeating - if you spread it and skip the watering, you have wasted the bag. Apply right before rain or right before you run sprinklers. - The bag is dusty when you cut it open. Stand upwind and wash your hands before touching your face. Not a deal-breaker, just a heads-up. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone seeing skunk, raccoon, armadillo, or mole damage in their lawn - that is the grub population getting raided - or anyone who has just put down new plant beds and does not want them undermined. If you have no signs of grubs and no animal damage, you probably do not need this yet. Wait until you see the problem. Five stars. Bought it for a specific problem, it solved the specific problem, lawn looks better than last year. Photo of the current state included.

As someone who likes to keep the house clean and comfortable, the TERRO T901-6 Ant Killer Plus Multi-Purpose has been a huge help. The ant removal is seriously impressive—it works fast and really gets rid of the problem, not just temporarily but in a way that keeps them from coming back. I also noticed the coverage is great. A little goes a long way, and it spreads well enough to handle multiple areas where bugs try to come in. The instructions were simple and easy to follow, which made using it stress-free even the first time. Now I will say, the odor is pretty strong and not the best smelling, but honestly it’s worth it for how well it works. Once it settles, it’s manageable. The durability is another big plus—it keeps working over time and helps stop not just ants but other bugs from coming in too. Overall, it’s a very effective product that does exactly what it promises, even if the smell isn’t the greatest.

Works well. Noticed ants both red and black around my place. Treated and lightly watered. Been looking around the next day and so far, no ants. Yes it did have a light “diesel” like smell when applying but after a decent watering that goes away. The granules don’t immediately disappear from what I see so this should last a bit. So far I’m happy with the results

I have to say, this is probably the least expensive I have found. It is decently effective, but the ants tend to move 10 ft away and start over. So, overall, it works, easy to apply, doesnt smell and does the job most of the time. This has been my go to ant and bug killer

I use this stuff twice a year around the perimeter of my foundation. No odors. It works wonders. When I start seeing ants I go out and open a bag up and shake it. So easy to use!

once spread it needs to wetted by hose, rain etc. Not activated until it gets wet. One wet it stays in place. Kill everything. Fast acting on the insect.

Well this is a great shaker bag but quite frankly I was upset that it didn’t demolish the ant houses. Those creepy crawling sugar eating whore ants just do not die. The product was applied just as described and the ants lefts for 2 days then were back at it in the same areas. Maybe I have supervillain ants? Idk but I do know they have not moved out even when I used this to evict them. They just laugh at me. Have you ever seen an ant face under the microscope? Well yeah they look like little demons. Now I can appreciate their purpose on this earth but that doesn’t mean I want millions living in my yard a huge army of demon faced armored supervillains is not my idea of great neighbors. So if you have ants marching around your house like they own it you may need something more than this.

I love nature... with that being said I really don't want ants around. Exterminators are quite expensive and realistically I would rather just deal with the problem myself. I had some ants cropping up in my yard, along with some wood cockroaches in the leaf piles. After some searching, I found that this product came highly recommended so I bought it. I have not been disappointed. It's incredibly easy to use; you just open the resealable bottom, shake out some, then put some water on it to soak in the bait/poison. After a few days the ants are COMPLETELY gone from the hills. With that being said, I mostly only used this for the ants part. I put a bit where the roaches are but, since they are far from the house, I am good with them continuing on and doing their job breaking down the leaves. I just couldn't allow the ants to do the same since they were biting me every time I unwittingly stepped on/near them. This is a super fast, super easy, and super cost-effective solution. I haven't even gone through a full bag yet and it's been used several times already. If/when I do go through the bag, I certainly will get another to have more on hand. If you have ants outside and want them gone, I would absolutely give this a go. TERRO really knows their stuff when it comes to removing ants.
