Exterm-an-ant | Ant Killer

Exterm-an-Ant is a potent, odourless liquid designed to effectively eliminate ant colonies. With boric acid as its active ingredient in the ant bait, it targets sugar-loving ants and uses natural attractants to ensure the poison is carried back to the nest, destroying the entire colony.

Key Features:

  • Active Ingredient: Boric Acid
  • Odourless Liquid: Provides discreet and effective ant control
  • Natural Attractants: Draws ants to the bait
  • Targets Sugar-Eating Ants: Ideal for ants that prefer carbohydrates

How to Use:

Start by shaking the bottle well to mix the ingredients evenly. Pour 4-5 mL of the liquid into a shallow dish, such as a bottle cap an Ant Cafe or Bug Bar Refillable Bait Station. Place the bait near ant trails, around your building’s exterior, or in heavily infested areas. For serious infestations, use multiple baits to enhance effectiveness. Avoid disturbing the ants or applying repellents near the bait.

For Best Results:

  • Remove Other Food Sources: Ensure ants are drawn to the bait.
  • Avoid Barrier Sprays: Do not use fly or barrier sprays near the bait, as they can prevent ants from taking the poison back to the nest.
  • Reapply Regularly: Check and rebait every 4-6 weeks to address new ants from eggs. Ants usually die within 24-48 hours after consuming the bait.

    With Raid liquid ant killer no longer available I tried a couple of other proprietary brands. The ants showed very little interest in them over a two week period. This product did the business. Within a couple of days there were no more ants.

    The ants stopped using it after a while but it did decrease their number but did not eliminate them. I think that the liquid dries and a skin grows on top which the ants don’t like. Perhaps small baits more regularly would work better. I purchase and use it again

    While I am on my 3rd bottle of ant exterminator I have to say this is the first product I have used that has made a notable difference to the amount of ants. Its really nice to be able to hang my washing on the line again after so long of having to battle ants for the of the lines. I am still putting the stuff out and there is still ants but only about a quarter of the number there used to be its decreasing daily. Yes I had about 6 any nests around the house 3 are no longer there from what I can see but will keep looking. 🙂 Thank you for a product that does as it claims.

    Great results with this product in our case. The ants had been going along the bench top and finding stuff to eat. The idea was to try and attract them outside through the open adjacent window so that we could just get them away and let the EXTERM-AN-ANT “do it’s stuff” so to speak. Well in a matter of hours with two baits set they were feeding outside and day by day the numbers of feeding ants grew. No problem now – they have gone. But …we will be ready for the “next time” whenever that is. We reckon “it’s good stuff”.

    If you have ants – GET THIS PRODUCT!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! I have spent hundreds$$ on toxic pest control products – yet my house and garden was still crawling with ants. I got this after reading the good reviews – and TENS OF THOUSANDS of ants were wiped out in ONE AFTERNOON! And there is not a single dead body to clean up cos they take themselves back to the nest and vanish! Turns out I had a massive infestation in my ceiling as well as the garden. I just WISH I’d known about this product sooner – it is a miracle!!

    If l could give a higher score, l would. This is the best thing for ants we’ve ever used. Only a very small amount is needed at each point because the ants just flock to wherever it’s put. It’s been well over a week and have not seen one ant inside. Brilliant stuff.

How do I permanently get rid of ants? Ranjit asked on 10 January 2025

The best way to get rid of ants is to use a colony-killing bait like Exterm-an-ant. Squirt a small amount of bait into an ant bait station and place where you see the ant trails. If you have pets, consider placing the stations where your pets can't reach. Whilst Boric Acid is not considered toxic to pets it's always advisable to keep the bait stations out of reach.

How long does it take for Exterm-an-ant | Ant Killer to work? Chase asked on 10 January 2025

Exterm-an-ant works quickly and you should see results within 1-2 days. Exterm-an-ant actively targets ant colonies using natural attractants and boric acid. Ants carry the poison back to their nest with dead ants, leading to the complete destruction of the colony.

How can I ensure my pets don't ingest ant baits? JD asked on 10 January 2025

1. Boric acid-based baits, like Extermanant, are considered low toxicity and generally safe for pets when used as directed, however, we highly recommend using bait stations: Opt for a bait station rather than placing liquid directly on the ground to minimise the risk of pet access.
2. Strategic placement: Place ant baits in areas inaccessible to pets, such as behind furniture, on high countertops, in closed closets indoors, or behind storage boxes, sheds outside etc.

AK answered on 10 January 2025 store manager

As the ants are everywhere, including on my work desk and counter, will they contaminate other surfaces after eating the poison? I eat in these areas.

Will they carry it in their feet and mouth, etc.?

Is it poisonous to me?

Cyrus Zadeh answered on 2 November 2025

Hi Cyrus, No once ants consume Exterm-an-Ant, the amount of active ingredient (boric acid) they carry is extremely small and not harmful to people or pets when used as directed. They don’t spread enough residue on their feet or bodies to contaminate surfaces.

The product is low in toxicity to humans, but good cleaning habits ensure safety and peace of mind.
