I am looking for a liquid bait to use when fire ants are a problem and possibly to refresh a set. Does anyone have any experience with one that has produced for you ?

Jameson's Ultra Blend Mouse Musk is a great liquid bait if you are looking for a mouse-based bait... I don't know too many animals that doesn't like mice. : )


Sit with warriors. The conversation is different.

I've had excellent success with Night Owls liquid mouse squeeze bait and Jameson's liquid predator bait "Shooter". Shooter is fairly rank smelling but works good here. I've used both as a stand-alone or refresher in warmer weather with good results. I'm sure Jameson's liquid mouse musk would work good too. I think he just recently came out with that one in the past year.

In the summer I use the Jamison’s mouse musk oil and I also take a squirt bottle of water and add two table spoon s full of powder river and make a liquid bait out of it as well. We have a ton of ants and these two work well.

Save deer livers or get them from friends. Let them sit in a large container for a day or two and drain off the blood and liquid that collects on the bottom of the container. I use it in a squeeze squirt bottle in dirt holes and those critters try to dig to China.

I've used fox & bobcat blood mixed with everclear. I was worried about the alcohol smell but didn't seem to bother the coyotes or skunks.


Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere.
Or so I've been told.

To paloduru: I've always had success with "shellfish" oil for Racoons-n-Foxes. But once again........Location, Location, Location! If you're using Dirt Holes, Remember to Always Bed that Trap nice and "SNUG"! A "wobbly" trap in its BED, is a BIG, No No! Remember, that your Target Animal might have had a Trap Snap in its Face a few hours earlier, or a day ago at another set? Get that Trap in the Bed, Tight. I usually, mostly use Trail/Blind sets, so I don't Deal with much Scent or Lure. But I will use a "Shellfish" lure at time, especially at water-sets for coons, maybe a Mink. Instead of a lure, I just like to use Red Fox urine that I have in a plastic spray bottle most of the time. I mean.... What's more Natural at a set for a Fox, than Fox urine! But? if you use Coyote urine at a set, you might Scare-Off your Red's? But Fox urine most likely won't "Spook" a Coyote at a set? Question for you Trappers? Where are Coyotes, Fox and Most other Predators Spending their "down" time most of their time? Hummm? Most likely in a Brushy/Woody area, no? Then they'll start hunting later in the afternoon, and into the evening, night, and then be back into the Brush before daylight? You're Trapping Canines out in the Open with Dirt holes, Step-downs and such? Who's going to catch your "Pelts", before you do? That's Correct? LOL? The Trail/Blind set Trapper that's "Pelting" your Catch on trails in the Brush, Before It's even Getting close to your sets around the open fields!? In my Dirt Hole sets I like to Use a "SWEET" Smelling bait, (Berry). Similar to a Coon Bait. Carman's Brands always worked well for me. The Sweet-smelling bait seemed to NOT Attract so many of the "Local" dogs and Skunks as a "Meat" bait for some reason? "Anyone Have an Opinion/Comment on That?". The Grey fox in my area really Like that Berry Scent also! Ok, "If" you Trappers aren't Harvesting a few Greys from time to time, it's Either your Area has very Few Grey Foxes, or.......Maybe you're NOT Trapping in Brushy enough terrain? (Greys are Waaay different than Reds). I catch 7 or 8 Greys each Season and most of them are "Incidental" catches on Trails with Foothold traps in Blind sets for Coons. On Brushy Ridgelines. 1and1/2 Victor Double Coil Springs, with 3 feet of Chain, 2 good swivels with J-Hooks connecting at swivel points, and a Tree Branch for a Drag! I NEVER have a Pull-Out! I've caught BIG Minnesota Coons by one Toe! But then again..........My Post might be "Irrelevant" to your Question, Sir? Because I'm Lucky enough NOT to have any Fire Ants. LOL. BUT! I lived in Northern Thailand for over 10 years and if you take "Powdered Laundry Detergent" and Mix/Shake it with plain tap Water in an empty Plastic Bottle. Then Poke some holes in the Bottle Cap to Make it into a Squirt Bottle to Spray the Ants with that Detergent/Water Mixture...... And that Mixture will KILL those Ants DEAD! Instantly! NO JOKE! LOL. Like my father use to say. "Graveyard Dead"! LOL.

Take your choice bait and put it in the blender with glycerine and put it in a clean squirt bottle.
