Combat Ant Bait

ok so now I understand – I Rated terrible; because I spent my money and looked at the reviews after, but this explains everything. Glad to know that my ants did not go in the box either.‍ I still got my receipt though ..... Show details

Absolute waste of money! Do not buy! – I put four of these around my house 4 days ago, the ants literally just walk around them and in some cases over it as well .. not a single dead ant in 4 days, completely ineffective. Don't bother wasting your money. Show details

Waste of money and does not do what the product claims – Totally ineffective. Considering the cost of the baits I am extremely disappointed. DO NOT waste your money on these at all. I'm still waiting for the ants to die - claims in 24 hours. No reduction in ants at all days after, if not more. Poor product!! Will never buy any products associated with them again. Show details

worked a treat – After buying and reading the reviews I held little hope but the ants are gone and I was infested. There was that many ants they could not help but enter the traps. 24 hours later about 20% reduction, day 2 50% day 380% and day 5 gone not a single ant. I put 3 in a semi-circle around the main area and very happy.

It works!! – I put the baits around the table in my room and after a day or two I find that the tiny ants are gone! But I continue to leave the baits there as they last for 3 months.

Have found it effective – First used strips in caravan it was great so have put strips and baits in van and now using it at home as well. I am very happy with results.

Never works, Woolworths only stocks this rubbish so little choice! Ant’s NEVER set foot on the bait – Not one ant even stepped up onto the platform - really bad design given ants avoid drawn lines let alone an actual step up onto suspicious plastic...DUH! Never waste your money on this scam - They obviously need to go back to the lab and actually bother testing!!

Once was great, but no more 2018/19 – Purchased for a major kitchen Ant issue, back in November 2018 and was very disappointed after 3 weeks still trying to eradicate the ants. Had a few die there at the bait stations but they kept coming. Finally gave up and went looking... Do not waste your time go get some Talon Gel, best thing since sliced bread... put a few lines out and had 100s… Read more

or maybe thousands of ants show up, that didn't matter really as they did not go past the bait anywhere else, next day less and within 72 hrs not a one and not a bit of bait left and we have had no returns since - this was about 5 weeks ago now since we made the change to Talon.

Sorry to say my memory of good old Antrid was way better than what we got now...

Don't waste your time or money - Talon is the new one, expensive yes at about $8 a tube(but can be found on special at times, we have a couple tubes now for just in case ;) but works awesome and you do not use much so will last for quite a while....

Don't waste your money or time – After fairly good results in the past with the liquid Ant Rid the baits have proven useless. The manufactures have have sullied the once good name of their product. Hopeless Jokes!

Combat Ant Rid Baits - waste of money! – I've used the liquid products before with no problem, but the baits were the only thing available in the supermarket. What a waste of money. A few ants tried the baits, then left in disgust continuing to invade my pantry and elsewhere. I used them as instructed. I contacted the company (Henkel) to give them feedback and request a refund, to… Read more

be told that ''ants are not always foraging for food. They maybe looking for a new nest or exploring their territory. This can explain why they will sometimes avoid baits".

Well, it appeared they WERE foraging, as they found any possible food source around, even wrapped foods.

We made up our own bait with Borax & sugar, and have now eliminated our ant problem.

Ant-Rid baits useless – Ant-Rid baits placed on the the tiny ant trails roaming around the house, are TOTALLY AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE! Not one entry or attempt to taste the bait! There is NO other food around in any shape or form! We tried the Liquid form some years ago, it was also a total failure! Borax in sugar syrup is at least eaten by the ants to eliminate some ants, but it will not destroy the nest!

Any rid is useless – The ants are skirting around all the baits I have in their path. Put a few grains of sugar on one to entice them, they ate the sugar and continued on their merry way. Absolute waste of money.

Pathetic – I put these baits out and the ants skirted around and walked straight by. Binned them after 3 weeks. Absolutely useless. Waste of money. Will have to go back to Borax!

Mixed results – In my experience the bait stations did not work. The liquid has had mixed results, some loved it apparently to their demise, others would not approach it. A gift card was promised to compensate for the bait stations but has not appeared.

Antrid doesn't work – I don't know why I keep buying this stuff! It doesn't work. The ants actually seem to avoid the bait. I even tried a small drop of honey at the entrance to the bait to entice them in. Ate the honey and left the rest.

Adhesive useless – The adhesive backing will not stick to anything. Also the ants seem to ignore the bait strip and walk around it. I dug the contents out of the container and smeared it on the wall and the ants really went for it. It remains to be seen how effective the product is over the next few weeks.

Useless – Used a grid liquid for years, has always worked...bought the combat baits and have found them totally ineffective, after using the whole pack of 4 baits on one problematic stream of ants, a week later the situation is totally unchanged.. Waste of money.

Useless. Has never worked since I first tried it 30 years ago – You'll kill more ants if you take your money, change it into pennies, and try throwing them at the ants. Maybe these baits work after three months, but somebody tell Combat that most people can't wait that long when it comes to infestation. After eight days, ants still walk around the bait. Even if the poison is slow-working, why doesn't Combat use bait with an instant lure so you can at least hope it is working?

Slow working – They went straight to the baits. After about three days the numbers decreased and after a week all the ants within the house had dissipated and they haven't returned to the house.

Works like a charm – I've seen a lot of negative comments regarding this product but for me it works fine. I'll be visiting Bunnings soon to purchase another box of them. Highly active ant trails go for it with no problems and you can see them carry away the bait back into the cracks they come from. Slow and minimal amount of ants on a trail take ages for them to notice the bait though

Combat Ant-Rid, in-affective – This product will not receive one star from me, as Ants, look at the trap and run away, I consider this trap absolutely useless in the affect of destroying ants.

Ant Rid bait strips – The adhesive is useless and the ants did not go near the bait. I would give this product 100% fail. Very disappointing - not enough research done prior to marketing

needs more work – completely useless ants just go around the baits had to pick them up with tweezers and put them in the middle off the bait where they couldn't wait to get out maybe the baits should come with tweezers.

dont bother – Reading the box you are led to think that this will control those damn ants. Well, Antrid is six bucks wasted. Totally hopeless you will have more success hitting them with the box. Placed as directed on the "ant trail" The buggers walk around the trap and don't go near it. Dont buy it

Absolute rubbish – I have two in kitchen and two in bathroom near where I've seen regular ant trails. The ant trails are still there, studiously avoiding the baits on their way to investigating my kitchen and bathroom instead. Waste of money.

Unhappy – I found that the new antrid strips do not live up to their promises. when peeing the blue off the plastic the sticky part came off with the blue paper hence I could not stick it up on the places required. I have used the white baits before and had no problems however this new bait strip does not compare. Wast of money.

Riddance – Terrible product. Really hard to strip to sticky stuff. Poison must be all gone on my fingers so whats the use if I get sick. Money back! Before I go. Ants are still multiplying.

Danger to Bees – Be thoughtful about where these baits are placed as this style of Ant rid bait contains Fipronil which has been shown to be destructive to bees. "Fipronil is one of the main chemical causes blamed for the spread of colony collapse disorder among bees". ref:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fipronil. It is also toxic to a variety of fish, insects and mammals

Waste of money – I could have just put $8 worth of coins on the bench instead of spending them on this product and it would have been equally effective at killing ants. After three days not one single ant has touched the bait and my house in still overrun with ants. This should be taken off the market.

New ant rid baits are rubbish – I've been a happy user of the liquid ant rid for years. The baits however are rubbish and I am astonished that the same company could replace their liquid drops with such a terrible product! I followed all the instructions and watched hopelessly as the ants rerouted around the traps after some initial interest. Days later the ants are still… Read more

working hard and skirting around the edges of the traps. No slowing down or thinning of the ant population.

Feeling ripped as I purchased this product only because their liquid one has been so effective in the past. Won't be buying this again. Wishing that I went with the selley's liquid ant killer instead of this one.
