Testing Terro Ant Killer | Getting Rid of Ants in the Lawn

- In today’s video I tried out Terro Ant Killer and tried to get rid of the ants in my lawn. I have recently had a couple of ant beds pop up across the lawn so I went to Lowe’s and picked up a fairly inexpensive ant killer called Terro Ant Killer Plus. Aside from the price, I was drawn to the product because it’s resealable and it has a unique application method; a shake bag. I tried out the product in my front flower bed and back yard. After 24 hours there was still a little activity in the mounds, but after 3 days there were no more visible ants. If you are in the market for some ant killer, check out the review! #lawninsider #terroantkiller #bermudagrass #getridofants #reelmow

Great video! Get those ants 🐜
No no ants!
Pest control guy here, you used this wrong. These type of baits are what we call "peremiter bait". What you were supposed to do is make a permiter around your house and/or yard. Not place it in certain spots. There are other baits for that type of treatment. Granules are meant to spread. If you want you can also try to spread it evenly across the yard but its cheaper and more efficient to just do the perimeter
No, he did it right. There are specific directions on the bag for spot treatment. Not all products are the same. I hope you read specific directions for products, especially pesticides.
@GemGalDana I literally used this product. It's a perimeter bait. The most effective way to spread granules is perimeter style. You CAN do it how he did and it CAN be effective just not as effective as perimeter style. It's the same with spraying. You can give certain areas special treatment but the best way to control pest in general is to secure the perimeter
The packaging has instructions for both perimeter and spot treatments. So…. There ya go guy
@nomaderic
thank you! great tip!
Think of a moat and a medieval castle
Granules kill grain foraging birds for miles around. Dead doves included.
This kills birds?
No it doesn’t
I just bought this stuff from my local home depo... I'm gonna spread it around my house tomorrow 👍
Keep those ants away!
How is it kid and pet safe? I find that hard to believe.
What did the Pink Panther say after he stepped on an ant?
Dead ant
Dead ant
Dead ant- dead ant-dead ant dead ant dead annnnnnnnt
😂
Milo was eager to help you out 😂
Hi Bro! I recommended people on UA-cam to this video for the Terro product, thanks for such a great video, it will help a lot of people❤ Many happy days to u and ur family❤
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Absolutely didn't work for me
I wish this worked. I have used several bags and the ants still build mounds. I have a major ant problem in my yard. I have done my whole yard, it hasn’t worked for me.
if thats the case where you see ants everywhere then thats an infestation, bugs control is your only answer unless you wanna keep spraying ant spray for a whole week on your own.
It is working, the colonies are just reproducing faster than you can kill them... I wish people understood that its impossible to get rid of ants
@40ape I use Over n Out Fire Ant Treatment. It should be applied to the lawn in the same manner as grass seed & fertilizer... lightly water immediately after application to activate.
This typically lasts 6 months (north eastern NC). I've used it for years.
(Disclaimer: I have zero proof that it actually kills fire ants, but it does keep them at bay for a few months... which is good enough for me until I find a product that (I can see) literally kills them & their mounds AND their stank colonies).
Hope this info helps.🤞🏽
First Aussie 😁. Rhett, kick those ants to the curb. 😎
Thank you for the review. I appreciate your time and follow up with the product!!
My pleasure!
Great video. You have a great family.
Good luck with your ant problem!
Anybody know where you can get some Diazanon?
Milo is a beautiful dachshund.
Thank you!
5:45 are they dead or they just migrated?
Let me tell you some people that stuff in this video and that orange Bay save your money. Trust me, save your money. I've tried it numerous times I dumped it on the ant hill. 1 day the next day went back and looked the ants had razor blades, chopping it up in little lying to snort, and it looked at me and said you've got some more, that's good Save your own money
Nice big Lawn
Great for Football ⚽️
My son is an avid fan of any game with a ball haha
Nice DUDES brother!
Also, I'll try the Terro if the Sevin I already have doesn't get rid of the ants by the pool.
dead ant = good
Bought some, used it. Moderate results. Better luck with Terro ant bait, but the best results for me has been Advion ant gel. Quite a bit more expensive though.
I used this and didn't water and it didn't work. The next time I actually read the instructions and it worked. I still have ants, it seems like they are endless. I have a half acre, so they have a lot of room to roam.
I have a neighbor that doesn't like to read directions and he puts the granules down dry without ever watering them. I don't think they would work it they're not wetted.
Someone can’t follow directions
I BOUGHT IT AND IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
It only works for awhile they adapt
It doesn't even work for a while they go in the ant traps and then go out and go back to the Colony and it's like a steroid then see 20 to 50 of them on your counter then you have to burn them up with fire or smash them and then repeat the process
I live in parkridge and noticed my lawn pulled away from foundation, is it safe to fill it with top soil? Or do you recommend something else?
The soil has shifted because we have a lot of clay and have had very little water. If we ever get a wet season again, the gap should fill in some on its own. I would go with a Sandy loam over straight top soil, as it will offer a bit more flexibility than the top soil if that gap ever does fill in on its own. I also wouldn’t fill it all the way back up.
Fire ants are the bane of my life. I usually get bit every time i cut my lawn so i tried some well known fire ant killer and it didn't do squat. I am wondering if they have their main hive under my house slab where the killer can't reach? I am at my wits end!
Should it be applied before or after mowing the lawn?
Try orthotene buddy
🐐
If it works, it’s taking too long because I actually have more ants that I started with now that I’m using it
Great information, going to give it a try!
People it’s ok if your children get bitten by bugs. As a child I use to be outside all the time and was stung, bitten and getting hurt. It’s a part of child hood. Wild life is a part of life.
Have you had 6+ fire ant bites at 1 time? They are not something to play with, especially if you have a toddler. It’s not like a mosquito bite, it’s horrid. Fall or sit on a fire ant colony…you may change your mind
