FAQs
Do I need to buy ant gel separately?
Yes, the Nope! Ant Gel Canteen Bait Stations are designed to be used with your preferred ant gel bait, which is not included in the pack and must be purchased separately.
How many bait stations should I use?
For best results, place a bait station close to the ant nest and along several known ant trails. The 8-pack allows for comprehensive coverage, particularly for larger areas or multiple points of infestation.
Are these stations safe for use around pets and children?
Yes, the 'twist to lock' mechanism is designed to keep the ant bait gel securely contained, significantly reducing the risk of accidental access by pets and children. However, always ensure the stations are placed in locations that are not easily accessible.
How do I clean the bait stations for reuse?
After use, wash the bait station with mild soap and water. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before storing or refilling for the next ant season.
Can I use these bait stations outdoors?
Yes, the stations come with a detachable ground anchor, making them suitable for use in gardens, on patios, or along borders.
What are the dimensions of each bait station?
Each bait station has dimensions of approximately H:15.8 x W:8.9 x D:14.8 cm.
How do I refill the bait station?
Refilling is done contactlessly through the top access point. You can inject the ant gel directly into the station without needing to open the main compartment.
Troubleshooting
Ants are not entering the bait station.
Ensure the bait station is placed directly on or very close to the ant trail. Check that the ant gel bait is fresh and appealing to ants. Verify the station is locked securely, as any gaps might deter ants.
The bait station is difficult to open or close.
Ensure there is no dried bait or debris obstructing the locking mechanism. If it feels stiff, try gently wiggling the lid while twisting. Clean the locking area with a damp cloth.
The adhesive pad is not holding the station securely.
Clean the surface thoroughly before applying the adhesive pad. Ensure the surface is dry and free from dust or grease. For added security, consider using the ground anchor if placing outdoors or near a suitable anchor point.
The station is difficult to refill without spillage.
Use a syringe or applicator designed for ant gel bait to inject the gel through the top access point. Avoid overfilling the station. Ensure the lid is properly aligned before twisting to lock.
