If more than one (1) to two (2) ounces are ingested, induce vomiting and contact a medical professional immediately.

How toxic is ant poison to humans?

There are only small amounts of the active ingredients in many ant baits because the borax concentration is only 5.4 percent. Each of these three pesticides, as well as avermectin and indoxacarb, may have neurotoxic effects on humans. A comatose state or other symptoms of overdose are possible side effects of excessive consumption.

Is Terro safe?

Homeowners almost universally recommend Terro Liquid Ant Baits because they are effective, simple to use, widely available, and relatively safe.

Is Terro liquid toxic?

Ingestion of Terro does not pose a risk to dogs, cats, or any other type of pet or human being. Terro is palatable to dogs and cats because of its sweet taste and maple syrup-like consistency. Intoxication will not kill your pet if it ingests it, but vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
