"Your product DOES work!!"

Hello, I just filled out two emails to Grants Kills Ants and Raid about how their product didn't work and I thought you deserved an email about how your product DOES work!! I knew your product was the only thing that worked but after many trips to Wal-Mart and your product being sold out, I finally decided to try the Raid ant baits. After a couple of weeks, I saw no ants at all being attracted to them and my ant problem was growing bigger and bigger! So, I went back to the store to buy Terro. Again, it was sold out. So, I decided to try Grants Kills Ants. After a couple of weeks of using this product no ants ever entered their bait station and yet again my ant problem was growing bigger and BIGGER! So, I went back to the store and I was only going to buy Terro this time. Again, it was sold out. So, this time I drove 15 miles to a different store and YAY--they had Terro! So I bought two boxes so I would have plenty. After I put the bait out the ants automatically!

flocked to your bait station! Something that didn't happen with the other products. After a little under a week my ant problem was dwindling away!! I will from now on, only buy your product, because from my experience, it is the only thing that works. I have emailed the other companies and I am expecting a refund from them. I just wanted to write a good letter for a change and thank you for marketing such a good product!!

Terro Ant Baits REALLY WORK

I just had to report that your Terro liquid ant baits are the best. My kitchen had been plagued by a variety of ants. I was ready to call professionals to spray, but heard about your product and decided to give it a try. I saw immediate AND long lasting results. I am so very pleased. Terro Ant Baits REALLY WORK, plus they are 100% safe around food areas. Thank you for making an excellent product.

Thanks for providing a superior product at such a great price.

I got my Terro and it works just like I remember. My parents used it all the time when I was a kid and I remember the ants just bellying up to it like college kids to a bar. I had a few ants in my bathroom. I bought some stuff that I thought worked liked Terro because I could not find the real think in Memphis. It was a dud. I Goggled Terro on the Internet and found your website.

Once I got the Terro, I put it out in three locations around the bathroom. The ants ignored it. I was wondering what was wrong. It was no working like I remembered. turned the light off and said I would check back later. Next thing I knew, the drops of Terro were black with ants crawling all over. That was two or three days ago. Now, the ants are down to a trickle. Just a few crawling around. Hopefully, they took their Terro goodies back to the ant hill and they will be gone forever.

Thanks for providing a superior product at such a great price. Even with shipping you were half as much as the other stuff I bought and it did not work at all.

"I still use it today"

I just want you to know that I grew up with my parents using your Liquid ant killer product. I still use it today, and it is the best way to get rid of ants. Works fast and safely. We found ants invading our house last night. I still had your product on hand and used it. All ants were gone this morning. It is nice to see old products like yours that have stood the test of time.

"Just to let you know ..."

Just to let you know that we have just moved into a brand new home-never lived in so there was no real problem with insects. After only being in the house for 2 weeks we had tons of sweet ants. Not in our food but on the counters, walls and appliances -the house was walking away. We tried quite a bit of other stuff and nothing was working. All the pest control companies wanted anywhere from $125-$175 to just sign up for their service and to sign a 1 year contract @ $90 every 2 months thereafter. Way out of our league. So, after about 6-7 hours of researching everything about these ants-didn't think that I could learn so much about an ant. I found information on your product and told my husband about it and he stopped at the local True Value Hardware in town (Solvang, CA) and asked about the product-everything that I had told him they had also told him. So he purchased the liquid and the baits. Very reasonable in price (about $14 for both) he was very relieved in that price to just take a chance. Well, as soon as we set out the baits and the liquid it was as though they were being drawn to the spot where we put the baits and liquid. It's only been 2 days and the traffic is finally slowing down. We just can't believe our eyes.
We will recommend your product to everyone we know-we live where these are pesky little critters.
Again, thank you sooo very much for developing a wonderful product that does the job in little to no time (instantly see results) for quite a small reasonable price.

Thank you from the central coast of California.

"Not a question, but high praise for your product!"

I am selling my house and I noticed a swarm in my master bath. I thought they were termites but upon closer inspection found they were flying ants. I tried canned sprays and a pump poison to spray around the house internal and external, no luck for two weeks. I ran across your web site, read the testimonials and decided to give it a try. WOW! I placed two outside stations on the side of the house where I located the ants within the bathroom wall framing. Later that day (about 3 hrs.) no ants. Next morning one ant and later no ants whatsover. I looked at the bait stations and found thousands that formed a trail and I'm guessing that the ones within the wall were running toward your product and now I am no longer bothered. Your testimonials are true, it is the best product that I have ever seen and it cost so little to obtain a large peace of mind! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will highly recommend your product to all my friends and people I meet.

"We are spreading the word..."

WOW: My mate and I saw your Liquid Ant Killer strips of liquid baits on a small hanging display in our local WalMart about a week ago, and picked up a strip (about $5-$6). We put one in the kitchen to attract the odorous ants, and put a competitor's round white "ant bait" near it. The ants ignored the other poison and went llike mad for your product, total ant-party situation. Within 36 hours, NO ANTS in the kitchen. So, we moved the Terro to the bathroom, and for three days the ants had a grand old time... Now, no ant trail going up to the ceiling, and we put the rest of the Terro outside, where the ants are madly infesting our flowerbeds. Those little pests are almost totally GONE, indoors and out. We are spreading the word about your amazingly effective and inexpensive product!

"Within 72 hours, the problem was solved."

I've lived in an older building for 7 years. Every spring for about 3 weeks, I've battled ants. I've tried all kinds of baits, but they only seemed to divert the ants briefly. Finally, the last 2 years I've just given up on the baits as nothing seemed to work, and fell back on sprays and caulking. Within 24 hours of caulking 1 point, they'd find another. Then I hit another problem - my kitchen was so thoroughly caulked, they'd get in and I couldn't see where they were coming in! I resigned myself to putting the dog and cat food in trays filled with water to keep the ants away. Then I found your site on Google. Off to Lowe's I went. I put 2 baits out, and the ant trail just swarmed to them. Within 24 hours, the activity was cut in half, within 48 hours, I saw only 10 - 15 at a time, and within 72 hours, the problem was solved. Thanks so much for ending my April battle against the ants!

"Unbelievable!"

I have had a persistent black ant problem in my home. I saw around a dozen daily most of which I just killed on the spot. Then one evening when my daughters were going to bed they turned on the light and were surprised by several hundred black ants crawling on the wall. Big Problem - no real immediate solution - call the exterminator. The great expense seemed worth the peace of mined the ants would be terminated. Not a chance. The ants only relocated to a different part of the house. Purely by chance, while I was at Lowe's did I spot your liquid ant bait product. The box didn't exactly say it worked on carpenter ants, but I was willing to try. I set the pre-packaged baits out where the ants usually appeared. I couldn't believe it - it was almost comical. Hundreds of carpenter ants streamed into the baits. It looked like an assembly line. This lasted through the night. By morning all ants disappeared. I figured they were either dead or to fat and lazy from a wonderful feast. Well it has been a couple of weeks and no ants. Unbelievable! Thanks.

"The ants are 100% gone!!!"

I felt compelled to write just to let you know what an outstanding product you have. I can't begin to describe the extent of the ant infestation that we recently went through.

The problem was in my kitchen. I think the ants could not take the weather outside and began ravaging every nook and cranny. They covered the counter tops, sink and cupboards. I would go on "attack mode" several times a day with a household cleaner, wipe away the masses...to no avail. It seemed like the troops would regroup, and come back even stronger.

The problem got so bad that if I opened any kind of food product the ants would swarm it with in minutes. We had to put everything in zip lock bags just to keep food in the house.

They even made their way up and into the refrigerator water dispenser and when you would go to get a glass of water, you got about 200 ants with it. Long story short, I went to OSH and asked them what they recommended.

OSH pointed to Terro ant killer II, liquid ant bait and the guy was sure it would do the trick. 9 packets and 2.5 days later, the ants are 100% gone!!!

I can't thank you enough!

Kevin A. asks...

"Where have you been all my life?"

I've read a few testimonials, and there are a few common themes.

1. Despair as different products are tried with no success,
2. A chance meeting with Terro
3. Problem solved, followed with ...
4. Hosannas and 'where have you been all my life?'

I have no more to add to that exact sequence. I am very, very excited to see that you are selling online and have armed myself appropriately with a range of your products. Only problem is that there ain't any more ants to turn the wrath of Terro on at this stage of events!!

Ah well, there's always next season...

"NO ANTS!"

I found the TERRO® Ant Killer II at Lowes and my ants are happily sucking the stuff as I type. By the way, over the last 20 years I have tried all types of ant traps and baits but your ant Terro worked from the very first time I tried it on some rather large black ants crawling up my kitchen cabinets in my former home in CT. In about two hours I had eliminated every ant.

As a quick followup, on Thursday morning when we entered our kitchen in our second floor apartment in Charleston SC, there was a four foot long stream of tiny ants from the door jamb to the dog's minichunks in a bowl on the floor. There were so many ants in the dog's bowl I thought they would carry the bowl away! We vacuumed the ants but they kept coming. We got the TERRO® Ant Killer II baits down around 5:00pm or so and the ants found the main bait container almost immediately and began eating as I described previously. By around midnight almost all the ants were gone except for a few scout ants here and there around noon on Friday-NO ANTS. This is the same experience we found in CT with larger black ants. It is just amazing to watch how these things work. So, again thanks for a great product which are surprisingly inexpensive.

"We have been battling those ants for 3 summers..."

Just a one word description for your product - UNBELIEVABLE!!!. We have been battling those little black sweet eating ants for 3 summers now. A few people had told me about your product before and how easy it was to use. With 2 small children at home food on the floor is inevitable. I was afraid to use anything other than just killing them on sight with a soapy solution. I stuck a few little cardboard squares under furniture and within 3 days the ants had really slowed down and now we have been ant free for almost 2 weeks! Thanks!

"I love your product and I recommend it every time"

I just have to say that every summer I have ants that come inside my house and every summer I do the same thing. All I do is go out to the store, get some Terro Liquid Ant Killer, put it in their path, the ants come like mad to the bait, and within a day or two they are wiped out. I love your product and I recommend it every time I here someone say they have an ant problem. I hope you don't change whatever your doing right and that you continue to make a great product.

"Finally a product that works!"

I just wanted to thank Terro for having such an excellent product. We had a persistant sweet-smelling ant control problem for about 12 weeks. In the past three months I have tried about 12 different of your competitors products - all with dismal results - they had no impact at all. Every weekend I would go to the Lowes or Home Depot and try something new. Pretty Frustrating experience. None of your competitors products seemed to have any impact - even the solid baits. I purchased your sweet smelling liquid ant baits last week. Within five days all the ants were gone! Finally a product that works!

"For the first time in years..."

I live in Trinidad, Republic of Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean. For years I have suffered with sweet eating ants in my home and after trying a number of different products I finally decided that I would have to live with the nuisance. On a visit to Miami about 8 months ago I saw Terro Ant Killer and figured I may as well try it although I expected it wouldn't work. In one week, BANG, no more ants. Items on the kitchen counter are not covered with ants in 10 minutes. In some areas they did return after 2 or 3 months but I reapplied and they are gone. For the first time in years I have no problem with them. Thanks for an excellent product which actually does what it promises.

"You've given me my sanity back!"

I bought the liquid ant bait over the weekend and my ants are just about gone. I never thought it was possible. They invaded every room in the house. We've tried everything on the market for the last 3 months but nothing worked. We paid $100.00 for a professional to treat the house but the problem got worse-not better! When we put the bait out everywhere, it only took about an hour until each one was filled so we laid more and more and more. In about 48 hours they were all gone. I can now leave my soda on the coffee table without worrying that the next time I go for a sip, I probably was drinking ants. When they came out to feed they came in the thousands and it took every once of will power to not kill them. I am so glad I didn't! This is truly a MAGNIFICENT product and at $2.50, also the cheapest! Thanks Terro. You've given me my sanity back! I never want to see another ant as long as I live.

ps: I never knew about this product until I walked into a hardware store that sells your product-you should do a TV commercial-we suffered for 3 months when this product was out there all along, we just didn't know about it!

"I thought I knew how to control ants... Well now I do."

You folks are awesome. Been messing with Pharoah ants for > 1 month. They must have established a nest inside my house wall. I'd spray one place and several hours later they were coming from somewhere else. I thought I knew how to control ants. Well now I do. Four traps and twelve hours later the whole colony is history. There must have been several thousand ants judging by the long and crowded line of ants trying to get into the liquid bait. I hope they enjoyed their last supper because now I can enjoy my supper. Thanks again!

"It was like Christmas in October!"

I am a member of the National Home Gardening Club. I was selected to be a product tester for your TERRO® Fire Ant Killer. I returned my feedback letter to the club and also sent a copy to your company. I was very impressed with the product and gave positive feedback.

Two days ago, I received a package from your company full of goodies, including two containers of the TERRO® Fire Ant Killer. It was like Christmas in October!

Last night I used the TERRO® Ant Killer II for sugar ants in my bathroom that were gathering around my perfume and lotions. This morning they were all gone! Fantastic! I saw a trail last night going up to the attic so I guess that's where the queen had her last supper.

I certainly appreciate your generosity and will tell all my friends about your great products. Thanks again!

"That stuff works."

We moved to Long Beach (which I am convinced is built on a huge anthill) recently, and this summer the ants have been militant. I've tried Raid, Black Flag, et.al. and the ants danced on them and sipped them like tea. I tried TERRO® (not even that thoroughly) and the ants are GONE. That stuff works.

"I am so happy!"

I simply want to praise you for a magnificant product! My friend and I have been sharing a small bottle of TERRO® Ant Killer II for almost three years now and treating it like gold because we couldn't find any more in our town. Tonight I went online and found I can order it online. I also discovered that our local Lowe's carries it. I am so happy! This stuff is great! It not only gets rid of the ants, it does it in record time!

Now, could you people make something equally as wonderful to get rid of roaches?

Thanks so much!

"I DID NOT SEE A SINGLE ANT!!!"

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I have been fighting an ant problem with my current company that treats my two story house for everything. They have not been able to control my ant problem. I even hired a different company to come in and treat my ENTIRE house, both inside and out. [It] did not do much other than to move them around.

I was in the local Lowe's checkout line last Tuesday and I saw your product hanging there and said "What the (heck)". I bought it and applied it that afternoon and waited to see if it was just as ineffective as all of the others. SURE ENOUGH, the little bastards came by the hundreds (like was predicted on the package). I said to myself, "Ok, well [I'm] just feeding them again."

I went downstairs to my kitchen at around 2:00 am, fully expecting to see my kitchen to be OVERRUN with ants as usual. I DID NOT SEE A SINGLE ANT!!! I have not seen ONE yet.

Thank you VERY MUCH for ... selling a product that actually works. I fully intend on informing all my friends (including my current bug guy) of your product and how quickly and totally that it works.

Once again, thank you very much.

"Thank you for making a product that really works!"

I bought your product two days ago to combat an ongoing (two month) carpenter ant problem in my home. I don't know why I picked your product over the others that I have not yet tried, but I lucked out. After watching an amazing parade to the baited pieces of cardboard, I can't find one ant this evening. After trying a poison that only killed the ones I sprayed directly, it is a thrill to have the ants take the bait with them and not return. Thank you for making a product that really works! I now plan on buying your perimeter treatment powder tomorrow.
