Ant Baits

How It Works

Ant colonies need both sugar and protein to thrive.  We created our own dual-bait formula that includes separate protein and carbohydrate baits -- in a gel that's easy to share with other ants in the colony. Simply open and place where you see ants, and they will find it no matter which food they seek - protein or sugar. Sugar is fed to the other workers, while protein is fed to the larvae for a more complete ant kill.

Pet Safety

Though toxic to ants, the amount of Borax in our Ant Baits is not toxic to animals. However, bait stations should be placed in an area where pets will not be able to access them.

What It Kills

RESCUE!  Ant Baits kill most common household ants.

Where To Place It

The RESCUE!  Ant Bait  can be placed wherever ant activity is seen. It can take ant several hours to find the bait station. Leave the bait station where it is and the ants will find it.

RESCUE! Ant Baits use a dual-bait formula with both carbohydrate and protein attractants to appeal to different types of ants in the colony. Worker ants carry the bait back to share with larvae and the queen, spreading the active ingredient throughout the colony.
Place the bait stations directly along ant trails, near entry points like windows, baseboards, under sinks, or other places you see ant activity. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from moisture so ants can find and feed from them easily.
These baits are designed primarily for indoor use, where ants are most visible and accessible. If used outdoors, place them in protected areas near foundations or under eaves to keep them dry and effective.
You’ll usually notice a drop in ant activity within 24 to 48 hours. Some ants may still appear during this period—that’s normal and means the bait is being shared within the colony. Full elimination can take several days, depending on colony size.
RESCUE! Ant Baits feature a certified Child-Resistant enclosure. Though toxic to ants, the amount of Borax in our Ant Baits is not toxic to animals. However, bait stations should be placed in an area where pets will not be able to access them.
RESCUE! Ant Baits are formulated to attract and kill most common household ant species, including odorous house ants, pavement ants, little black ants, and Argentine ants. Because the formula contains both sweet and protein attractants, it appeals to a broad range of ant species. RESCUE! Ant Baits are not effective when used against larger ant species, like Carpenter Ants.
Use one bait station wherever you see ant activity. For heavy infestations, place multiple stations—one every few feet along visible ant trails or in separate rooms where ants are active. Replace stations as needed if they become empty or damaged.
It’s normal to see more ants temporarily after setting the bait. They’re gathering and carrying the bait back to the colony. This activity is a sign the product is working. Within a few days, you should notice a sharp reduction in ant traffic.
Avoid using sprays, powders, or strong cleaners near the bait stations. These can repel ants or interfere with their foraging. If you want to use sprays, apply them away from the bait stations or after bait activity has stopped.
Leave the stations in place until ant activity subsides or the bait is gone. Replace them if the gel has been consumed, dried out, or if ants return. For ongoing prevention, check the bait areas monthly and refresh as needed.
