Is condensation under the windows normal?
The condensation under the windows is normal and desirable. It occurs because the timber of the bait has absorbed moisture (perfect for termites) and when the sun heats the bait, a little moisture may appear in the window. It later evaporates when the bait dries out. The timber of the bait is like a sponge and will absorb or expire the moisture around it as the soil changes from moist to dry. Condensation = Inactive, no termites in the bait yet. If you see condensation then there are no major termite activity in the bait yet. Once the termites arrive and eat their way through to where the window chambers are, they will absorb the moisture and use it to build their mud under the window to block out the light. Note: They will build the mud whether there is condensation or not. Mud in both windows tells you that the bait is active and ready for treatment with an approved termiticide. Condensation or a clear window means that the bait is all clear for the moment.
