About this product
The Deadfast Ant Killer Plus Bait Station 3 x 4g offers a targeted approach to ant control within your home. This product, from Westland, provides effective solutions for infestations by utilising a unique formulation that transforms into a poison when consumed by ants – delivering precise action and minimising risk to other species. It’s designed for homeowners seeking discreet and reliable pest management.
This kit includes three 4g baits housed in secure bait stations, perfect for tackling ant problems where they originate. The innovative design incorporates an active ingredient, indoxacarb, and a gel format, allowing ants to carry the poison back to their nests, providing total colony control. It’s formulated with safety in mind, offering child and pet resistance through its housing.
The bait stations can be positioned on flat or vertical surfaces near ant runs or nests – following the included instructions for optimal placement. Remember to remove any nearby foodstuffs as part of the initial setup. While effective, it's important to note that clearing a full infestation may take several days due to the targeted nature of the treatment.
This product is ideal for those seeking a practical and efficient solution to ant infestations. The discreet bait stations eliminate the need for spraying and minimise mess, offering a convenient method of control.

How does the bait station work?

The product consists of three 4g baits in a gel format housed within a child and pet-safe casing – details regarding specific material composition aren't provided.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
This product is designed for indoor ant control only. It’s recommended to secure the bait station on a flat, horizontal or vertical surface close to the ‘ant run’ or nest.
How many baits are included in the package?
The package contains three individual 4g baits, providing ample coverage for initial ant control efforts.
What is the approximate weight of a single unit?

Always read the label and product information before use. The bait station is designed to be child and pet safe, but keep out of reach of children and pets.
How long does it typically take to see results?
It may take a few days for the bait station to fully clear an infestation as contaminated ants need time to carry the poison back to the nest.
What should I do if I encounter any issues with the product or its performance?
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and, for further assistance, consult the retailer's (e.g., Amazon’s) standard returns terms.
