Seeing ants inside your home can be frustrating, but we're here to help you get your space back. It's time to kill the entire invasion. This bait works by attracting foraging ants who carry the food back to the nest, effectively killing the queen and the colony.
Key Features
- KILLS THE QUEEN & THE COLONY: Don't just stop the forager ants you see, eliminate the source of the problem for good by killing the queen and the entire colony
- ANTS BEGIN FEEDING WITHIN 30 MINUTES: The bait is formulated to attract foraging ants quickly, getting them to take the bait back to the nest
- KILLS COMMON HOME-INVADING ANTS*: Takes care of argentine, little black, odorous house, pavement, pharaoh, and other listed ant invaders
*Excludes fire, carpenter and harvester ants.
About This Product
Ants have their place, but that place isn't on your kitchen counters. When they come indoors, Ortho Orthene Ant Killer Ant Bait provides a simple, effective solution to help you get your space back. Foraging ants are attracted to the bait—often within 30 minutes of placement—and carry it back to the nest to share with the colony. This kills the queen and the colony at the source. You should see a noticeable reduction in ant activity within 3 to 7 days. It's time to confidently restore balance to your home and take back your space.

Works very well
This is the first year that we’ve ever had ants in our home. We found out they were getting in through a vine that was growing up our house, but we needed to make sure we got every one of them that came in here and this product definitely took care of the rest that were left in the house. This pack comes with a lot of traps, which is awesome. Super easy to clean up and throw away once we felt the problem was taken care of. Very easy to place wherever you need them. I definitely recommend ortho products in general, but this one’s definitely a winner.

Starts working FAST!
What I like about the Orthene Ant Kiler Bait is that it works FAST! It’s starts working within 30 minutes, which is amazing! I like that there’s 12 in a pack, which is such a great deal and for the price too! It’s so easy to use and so convenient as well. No mess either! I highly recommend!

Great product!!
Works well for those pesky ants that enter the home during the season change! It usually takes out most of them in a couple of days and haven't noticed that they come back

Ants? What ants?
Who couldn’t love ortho or theme ant killer ant bait! These pesky ants who love hunting for food have met their match! It’s that’s time of year where we see more ants inside due to weather. These take care of that for me and I never have to worry. They are simple to use, mess free, and they take the worry away from me since they are made with safety in mind. The bait is small and discreet. And fit just about any where.

No more ant
This is the first time I’ve tried ant trap and I’m truly shocked by how quickly Ortho works. My house is especially infested with ants in the spring. I placed a box right on the table at first. I went out for a bit and when I came back. I saw ants swarming and lying dead all around the trap. What I appreciate most is that so convenient, one pack contains eight boxes so I can distribute them freely placing them in every nook and cranny of the house from the kitchen counter to the cabinets and even the living room. It’s super easy to use, I just need to peel off the sticker and place it where I want and then done. This is truly a great invention.

Easy to use and does works well
This bait station is easy to use. Just lay it on the floor or ground. It also has a sticky back to keep it intact and in place. It target ants and colonies, we placed it in the garage area. We noticed fewer ants in the garage already. It is much cheaper compared to other brands.

Hight recommend!
This ant bait is incredibly effective and easy to set up. I saw ants attached to the bait almost immediately after placement. The stations are clean, odorless and fit perfectly in corners or under cabinets. Within days the entire colony was gone. It’s a simple, mess-free solution that actually works.
