Are you dealing with a pesky ant problem? If so you may be wondering how raid ant traps work.
Ants are attracted to the sweet scent of the bait and enter the trap through the hole in the top. Once inside they cannot escape and eventually die.
The raid ant trap contains a food source and a poison. The food source is typically sugar or some other type of carbohydrate that ants find irresistible. The poison is usually an insecticide or a pesticide.
When the ant enters the trap it eats the food and ingests the poison. The ant then goes back to the nest and shares the food with the other ants. The poison kills the ant and the other ants in the nest.
Raid ant traps are an effective way to get rid of ants. However they need to be placed correctly in order to be effective. If you have an ant problem it is best to consult with a professional to determine the best way to get rid of the ants.
How often should you replace your raid ant traps?
Every month or as needed.
