The above-ground baiting system is a preventive and targeted method used in termite control in Malaysia. It involves placing bait stations above ground in areas where termite activity is observed or likely to occur. These stations contain materials that attract termites. Once termites feed on the bait, they carry it back to their colonies, effectively spreading the poison and eliminating the colony.
This method is advantageous as it specifically targets termite colonies without affecting non-target organisms or the environment. Regular monitoring and maintenance of bait stations are necessary to ensure their effectiveness in controlling termite populations. Professional pest control services in Malaysia often offer above-ground baiting systems as part of their comprehensive termite management plans.
