The short version
- Indoor ant trails in kitchens, bathrooms or basements
- People who want baits that keep working for months

- The problem is outdoors; these are labeled for indoor use
- Anyone in the home has a peanut allergy
- You have sugar ants and would rather start with a liquid bait
What owners like
- Low effort, set and leave for up to three months
- Adhesive keeps stations in place off the floor
- Enclosed, child resistant stations rather than loose bait
Common complaints
- Side by side comparisons favor TERRO liquid bait for sugar ants
- Indoor only, so outdoor nests need a different product

What it does
Eight child resistant indoor ant bait stations that ants feed from and carry back to the colony; the original listing now sells this Raid Max Double Control 8 count, its closest current match.
- Dual bait design meant to attract ants and kill the colony
- Ants carry the bait back to the nest
- Adhesive lets stations sit on walls or under countertops
- Meant for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and areas near plumbing
- One set is rated to keep working for up to three months
A sensible pick for an indoor ant problem when you want baits that keep working for months and can stick to walls or under counters. Side by side comparisons favor a liquid sugar bait for sweet loving ants, so results depend on the species.

Questions
What is the active ingredient in Raid Max Double Control ant baits?
Avermectin B1, also called abamectin, at 0.05%.
How long do Raid Max ant baits last?
Raid says up to three months. Replace all baits at that point to keep ants from returning.
Where should Raid ant baits be placed?
Where ants are seen, especially corners, under sinks and near plumbing. Use all the baits at once.
Is Raid Max Double Control better than Terro?
A side by side comparison favored Terro liquid bait. Grease seeking ants may respond better to a protein style bait than a sugar one.
Are the stations child resistant?
Raid lists them as child resistant, and the label still says to keep them away from children and pets.
