Termite Control Bait
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.
Termite Bait Station
After subterranean termites have been discovered feeding within a structure, a professional exterminator can place monitoring stations inside the soil. These monitoring stations allow for detection of high-traffic areas where termite control bait will be most effective. Spot spraying kills insects immediately on contact, but residuals and baits are longer-term solutions to infestations.
Termite control bait will contain one of a number of slow-acting insecticides, which poison and sterilize multiple generations over the course of a few weeks to a few months. Although extremely effective in ensuring that a colony will perish, treating infestations solely with termite control bait may be a lengthy process. Exterminators are likely to use multiple control methods when treating a termite infestation. Fast-acting, toxic sprays are often utilized in areas where termites are most obviously active. These sprays can kill insects instantly.Trained professionals will also place insulated, treated foam in foundation crawl spaces and should treat any support beams that come into direct contact with the ground. These measures prevent more insects from infesting the home, deterring future infestations.
