Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been having carpenter ants appear all over my house recently, and I knew it was time to do something about it. I didn't want to continue buying Raid spray cans because those only kill ants on contact. Thus, you still have the ant colony (or colonies) to deal with since they nest somewhere in your house where you can't reach or see. I conducted research online, came across many reviews, and read articles about these Terro products to which I've heard lots of good things about. After some consideration, I decided to purchase their product with hopes that this will eliminate the ant infestation. On the first day, I had placed one bait station by the kitchen walls with nothing surrounding it, and after a few hours, ants had already began approaching the bait station. I left the bait station in its place overnight and by the next morning I had gone to check how many ants I have attracted to the bait. There were NUMEROUS ants! I had even followed their trail to find the entrance/hole from where they began coming through. As days pass by however, none of the ants seem to disappear. As a matter of fact, it seemed that more ants have appeared rather. I then figured it was time to place more ant bait stations nearby (as seen in the photo); also since the first bait station probably doesn't have much bait left too. So far it's been a week and a half, and the same amount of ants (to what it appears like) are still roaming around, and it does not seem like the amount of ants have decreased at all. I had even bought the liquid drop baits too, but that's for another review. I am starting to think that I am practically giving these ants free food instead of actually eliminating them unfortunately. I had even recently read on a review that Terro had likely changed up their formula a bit, so perhaps that's why it seems like this stuff isn't working, but did for others (back when the formula wasn't changed as a likely case). I had read that it may take up to two weeks to completely eliminate and control the infestation(s), so I'm still waiting, but so far, I am a little disappointed in this as I expected to see less ants by the day, not more. I will update by the next week. UPDATE (08/11/18): Well unfortunately, I now go from a 2-star rating to a 1-star rating. I placed a 2-star rating first because I wasn't happy about the results I was seeing so far in the first week, but the box states to wait for 2 weeks to see complete control. To this day (exactly 2 weeks after product was delivered) I still manage to have numerous ants in my house. I have literally used 2 boxes (12 bait stations) throughout the days. I had replaced some bait stations and threw the first ones I've used in the trash because after a few days, the ants didn't seem to go inside the stations any longer, so I figured I just had to use new fresh ones. The box states (regarding controlling and eliminating ants) that "complete control may take up to two weeks", however, it doesn't seem like the ants have numbered down because there's still lots of them coming in and out. I really thought this would help me with my ant infestation, but I might just try to find another solution to wipe out their colony/nest.
