Exterminators Now – The Use of Bait Systems to control Termites

In order to identify a subterranean termite infestation, Exterminators Now performs inspection and makes use of monitoring stations. The monitoring stations are placed in soil that is suspected to be infested with termites. After highly active locations are determined, Exterminators Now will replace the monitoring stations with bait stations.

According to Exterminators Now, bait stations are effective but the results are not fast enough to cope with areas that are heavily infested. In some problem areas, exterminators have to use conventional liquid insecticides. Moisture sources are addressed and wood piles that are sources of food are removed.

 

Termite infestations are often overlooked because they silently feed on your home. You will only notice an infestation when it is serious enough and needs the services of Exterminators Now to handle the problem. Since termites are very destructive, the infestation has to be controlled immediately to reduce the damages to the home.

Termites are impervious to most over-the-counter solutions. Once they detect the solution, they always find a way to avoid it. Another challenge for homeowners is the size of termite colonies that can be controlled through spot treatments. A termite infestation requires a thorough and complete treatment as long term solution.

 

The best step to undertake is to allow professional exterminators to design and implement a comprehensive and effective treatment plan. The costs of professional extermination will pale in comparison to the thousands of dollars worth of structural damages caused by thriving termite colonies.

 

Early detection of termites does not require chemicals; however, baiting stations use a limited amount of insecticide as an ecofriendlymethod of termite treatment. Termite baits are the solutions in some areas where the use of liquid thermiticides is prohibited. It is also easier for exterminators to apply termite baits around a home than apply liquid treatment on the surrounding soil.

 

The most common bait systems used to treat subterranean termites is underground bait systems. Above ground bait systems are also effective as long as they are installed by professional exterminators in areas that are directly in the path of termites or in the middle of active mud tubes. Above ground baits can be used with other methods of termite control.
