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.
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.
