| Termite Baiting |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Our termite baiting program is provided by Dow Agrosciences. The Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System has been proven to eliminate termites from the structure that it protects. It works by installing stations around the perimeter of the structure. When termites are found in a station the termites are then collected and placed inside a baitube™. The baitube™ is then placed back into the station where the termites begin feeding on the bait. The bait is a chitin synthesis inhibitor, which is also known as an Insect Growth Regulator. An IGR inhibits the termites ability to molt which means it cannot grow. If a worker termite cannot molt properly it will die. When all the worker termites have died the colony cannot support itself and the rest of the colony starves to death. Once colony elimination has been obtained the baitube™ will be replaced with monitoring devices to monitor for new colonies. |

| Stations are then installed |

| A baitbox mounted on top of a termite shelter tube. This allows termites to start feeding on the bait quicker |

| When termites are present a bait tube is installed along with a satellite station. This is shown in the above picture |
