What's the space needed in between bait stations for outdoor use? Should I place them every 10-20 feet apart?

Answer:

There is not a specific amount of feet in between stations for indoor or outdoor baiting. Below are some helpful baiting tips. How to Apply Bait Indoors: Apply small placements in cracks and crevices, especially where ants are seen foraging or entering the structure. Inspect gel placement and reapply as needed. For optimum success, follow the directions printed on the individual product label. Additional Indoor Baiting Tips: Remove competitive food sources. Practicing good sanitation is the best way to remove food particles or spills that may serve to deter ants from accepting chemical baits. Always use fresh bait. As a rule, only place baits with packaging that was opened within the last 6 months. Do not use residual sprays or dusts anywhere near bait placements. Doing so may either kill ants before they can take the bait or repel them from seeking out chemical bait. It is better to err on the side of too many bait placements than too few. If possible, place baits at all potential entry points. Do not move or tamper with the bait once the ants have begun feeding.
