4. Exterminex Termites Baiting System (Australia)
Termite bait is usually a luring interceptors like material containing the active ingredient that kills termites. The bait is kept inside a plastic bait station. As termites feed on the bait, the active ingredient gets into their bodies. The active ingredient is spread through the colony as the termites feed each other. As more worker feed on the bait, more active ingredient gets into the colony. Eventually the amount of active ingredient in each termite increases until it kills them and the colony dies or is reduced.
Termites baiting stations are installed directed over shelter tubes or infested wood so that termites can begin to feed immediately on the bait. The contractor will inspect the treated area bi-weekly for the first three months and subsequently tri-monthly.
