ANTagonizer - Ant Bait Station

Bait Station with ground stakes also available as it's own print profile! (Keeps it where you've placed it!)

When ants invade your space, cheap bait traps just don’t cut it. They dry out, fall over, or get ignored completely. The ANTagonizer was designed as a smarter, tougher alternative—built to deliver poison with precision and keep it where it belongs. With a low-profile design, secure twist-lock lid, and multi-chamber interior, it draws ants in, lets them load up, and sends them home with a problem their queen can’t solve.

Fun fact—or terrifying one: it's estimated there are 20 quadrillion ants on Earth. That’s over 2.5 million ants for every human . If we don’t keep them in check, we may one day answer to our ant overlords. Odds are, you’re being secretly watched by an ant right now!

This isn’t just pest control—it’s colony collapse with style .

📏 Size / Measurements:

- Diameter: 56.6mm - Height (Closed): 11.7mm - Lid: Bayonet-style twist-lock (9° rotation) with vertical slide mechanism - Twist and slide UP to open; twist and slide DOWN to close and lock - Interior: Multi-path entry maze with central bait well 🧪 Materials Used & Printing Tips:

- Material : PETG or ABS for outdoor use; PLA for indoor use - Layer Height : 0.16mm - Wall Count : 2 (efficient structural design requires no additional infill) - Infill : Not required due to efficient internal geometry - Supports : Not required - Filament Swap / AMS : Optional for “ANT BAIT – DO NOT TOUCH” lettering on lid No additional hardware required. Use a cotton ball soaked in bait (e.g., sugar + Borax) or bait paste placed in the center chamber.

Interior Design Advantage:

The inner layout isn’t just for looks—it’s tactical. The twisted paths and winding channels force ants to spend more time inside the trap, maximizing contact with the bait and increasing the chances of them carrying it back to the colony. This design also helps reduce bait tracking and keeps liquid or paste centered where it belongs.

Usage Tips:

- Twist and slide lid UP to open and expose entry slots for ants - Twist and slide DOWN to close and lock for storage or transport - Lid locks in both positions for safety and reusability - Place near active trails or entry points - Refresh bait as needed (every few days) ☠️ Effective with:

- Sugar + Borax solution - Peanut butter + Borax paste - Commercial gel baits or DIY blends Recommended Bait Recipes

Wet Bait (Sugar-Loving Ants)

- Sugar + Borax Solution : Use one part Borax with three parts powdered sugar with just enough water to make a thick paste . Place it in the center well. - Peanut Butter + Borax Paste (for protein-seeking ants): Mix 1 tbsp peanut butter with 1/4 tsp Borax. Place a small amount in the center well. Dry Bait (Minimal Mess)

- Cornmeal + Borax Blend : Mix equal parts cornmeal and powdered sugar with a small pinch of Borax. Use a dry cotton ball to hold the mixture in place. - Baking Soda + Honey Paste (low-toxicity option): Mix 1 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp baking soda. This is slower-acting but safer in pet-sensitive homes. Replace bait every 2–3 days or as needed for best results.
