How does a bait system work to control subterranean termites?
Wood-monitoring stakes are placed in the ground around the structure and inspected monthly or quarterly. If termites are found inside a station, the bait is put in. Termite baits use slow working poisons, while also taking advantage of the termite’s natural tendencies. Termites live in close contact with one another in colonies in underground nests. After a termite consumes the bait, it returns to its nest and spreads it round, helping to eliminate more termites in the nest.
