How long do the ants live?

They claim 1-3 months, mine lasted more about 3 months...Once they started dying the ants would bury the dead in the corner or bring them up to the top! Pretty cool!

I've had them for a little over a month and their still going, about 3 are dead, but the are nonetheless still going at it.

On average 1 to 3 months. I've bought ants half a dozen times and its really all over the place. They've died within a couple weeks, to having a handful survive to about 3 months. The key is to get the dead ones out right away when you can and to remember to give them air by cracking the top every few days.

Generally about 3 months, though ants are individuals and some will die sooner and others will live a little bit longer than that.

This went to our grandson. Two or three ants bit the dust right away...all others quite active. It says they will live about 6 months...he has had it 1 1/2 months!

Mine lived for about 3 months. My daughter had a set and they lived about 4 months. You just need to open the lid once a week. There is no need to feed them because they eat the gel in the container. They will begin to run very wild when you open the lid. You may need to capture some that get out. I learned to capture them in a tuperware type container with tall sides. I could then scoop them back into the little tube that the ants came in and then dump them back into the Antworks container once I had cleaned out the dead parts. I took mine to work and kept them on my desk. We all enjoyed them especially that first week when they were building the tunnels. It was great! Enjoy! Mine lived for about 3 months.

Great question. I have a massive ant problem but don't have carpenter ants so why don't you buy some and give it a try. It sure works on common ants and can kill a whole colony in two days.

I really don't know - who times this stuff. I know it was about 2 months before we had problems with the ants again.

Jennifer, It will vary from species to species but in general, 4-7 days for an average nests. Now if the nest is unusually large or networked with lots of satellite colonies, it could take 1-2 weeks. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I did not use them outside, however I would not hesitate if the weather is dry. The ant response was immediate, so one or two good weather days and the ants will probably be gone. Good Luck

For a short time. 2 or 3 days tops. They need moisture and food and ventilation to survive but can survive for quite some time in the container with those things.

No it does not come with ants. In the instruction manual there is a order form for the ants. Or you just visit the website Antsalive.com and order them for 4.95 (it's free shipping). You can add priority shipping for another $6. The ants arrive alive and healthy and will last you months!

I had ants marching from behind a kitchen cabinet. They were heading in two different directions. I located where they were coming out from behind the cabinet. I ran a bead of Terro so they could not come out without walking thru it. The ants walked thru it, and about 2 hours later they were all over the wall. The next day they were all gone. Have not seen another one in over 43 months.

Oh my, so sorry! I know nothing about the ants mentioned, but the Advion took care of a swarm of carpenter ants. Supposedly the ants travel back to their queen with this chemical which she ingests and ends that cycle, allegedly. Google the topic to see what pops up.

You just have to set them out. Mine work great. It takes a couple days. It doesnt kill the ants that come to eat it. They take the food back to the queen, she eats it and dies. Then once the queen dies, the rest of the colony will die out also.

It comes with a coupon code for ants. You go online and order them, and the ants are shipped to your home. You do have to pay a small amount for S&H.; It lasts as long as the ants are taken care of properly. They don't live forever...ours lasted about 6 weeks. But you can order more.

Hello, Michael,If you use this product in an area that won't get wet; i.e. near sprinklers, etc. one application can last two to three weeks. We spray this around the edges of our home and it really helps keep the ant population from visiting inside our home!

Once you open a bait container and leave the cap on it will last for months. it does kill the ants. you may have to apply more than once if there is a lot of ants.

I'm not sure about that. I haven't had much problem with ants, though. Wish I could give you more information.

Our ants lasted around 2 mos. We had a few stragglers that lasted longer, but not many.
