QUESTION:
What are some outside ant bait stations that hold liquid ant bait as well as granular ant bait?
ANSWER:
This can be confusing, can't it, with so many products coming and going in our industry. One of the largest stations that can be considered is the Multiplex from Syngenta, which is primarily considered a rodent station but which also has a compartment where you can place insect baits. This would be an awfully large station to dedicate to just ant baiting, but if rodent control also is being done then the insect option is there. Another fairly large one is the Pest Sentry PPS-20 from B&G, although this one may be getting harder to find and it also would be fairly large for only ant baiting.
For insect control only some options are the Ant Cafe from Innovative, Ants-no-More from Kness, and the PFT Inground from Rockwell. The Ant Cafe is just a little plastic capsule that would need to be secured to something such as a stem of a bush or a pipe, etc. However, it probably is by far the least expensive. Better might be the larger stations that can be buried in the soil (PFT Inground) or pushed into the soil as an above-ground station (Ants No More). These are reasonably priced and hold a lot of bait for continuous ant baiting needs.
