Termite Baiting

 

Termites are scavengers always in search of a new source of food-dead cellulose which is what most homes are made from. Termite baiting systems rely on the nature of termites to randomly and continually forage in the area around their nest in a never ending search for new sources of food.
The first step is the installation of stations below ground between 12-18 foot intervals around the structure. The stations are inspected on a quarterly schedule for the presence of termite activity in the station.
If termites are found, the station is baited. Baited stations are inspected on a regular basis and rebaited as needed.

Each station contains 6 wooden interceptors made from white southern pine which is what most houses are constructed of. Because the walls of the station have numerous openings in them to the exterior, the interceptors come in direct contact with the earth when the station is installed in the ground. Once the station is installed, randomly foraging termites discover the interceptors and begin feeding on them. This feeding establishes termite activity in the station and is referred to as interception. Once termites are intercepted, Labyrinth Termite Bait is installed in the station.
