Introduction

Part of a Green Pest Management Program

Terro-PCO is the #1 selling liquid ant bait in the U.S. Its super-sweet attractant instantly attracts ants, which flock to it in minutes. It controls and kills all common household ants and their colonies.


"I tried Terro-PCO the other day, there were 4 different isolated ant trails entering the house.  I used 2 of the 3 bait stations that you sent me.  I installed the first one and went to the other side of the house and installed the second one.  I say "installed", but all I did was cut off the end of the bait station and set it down in the middle of the ant trail.  Anyway, when I got back to the first bait station, the ants were already trailing into and out of the bait station.  It was amazing, I actually shot a video of it with my phone. I went immediately back to bait station #2 and with the same result, ants trailing in and out. For me the product worked great and I will most definitely buy more for future use."

A Closer Look

Terro-PCO is a green pesticide that can be used in Green Pest Management programs. As a borate-based product, Terro-PCO has a very low mammalian toxicity and targets specific pests. This reduces the impact on people, pets and non-target insects beneficial to the environment (such as butterflies and honeybees). Also, Terro-PCO is applied only where needed, further reducing any unnecessary impact to the rest of the environment. And since it is long-lasting, less product is required for a successful and effective Green Pest Management program.

How it Works

Its super-sweet bait may lure ants quickly, but Terro-PCO’s ultimate effect on target pests comes from the way the boron molecules in its active ingredient interfere with a pest’s metabolism. Because pests cannot excrete excess boron as humans and other organisms can, the boron builds up in their systems and ultimately interrupts the normal chemical process of transforming food into energy. So, by ingesting Terro-PCO, the insect is unable to extract nutrition from its food and effectively starves to death. Humans, pets and other living things don’t share the risk because they are able to excrete excess boron from their bodies.
