Combat Ant Bait

Ant baits are totally ineffective. I have put it on several places and the ants go everywhere but near the trap.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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 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 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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
