Termite Baits and Traps
In the event of a subterranean termite infestation, exterminators employ various treatments. Spot spraying kills insects immediately on contact, but residuals and baits are longer-term solutions to infestations.
Termite baiting systems contain slow-acting insecticides. Worker termites discover these baiting systems and believe the bait to be a viable food source. They then feed other members of the colony with this bait, leading to the eventual death and sterilization of multiple generations.
While waiting for the baits to take effect, pest control professionals will supplement treatment with toxic liquid insecticides in order to limit further damage in areas identified as active.
