The Science Behind the Bait
Termite Bait Stations will be placed by the professional where foraging is anticipated. They will be attracted to the bait and consume it. The bait is designed to have a time-delayed affect. Termites will groom and feed each other regularly, thus transferring the bait to other colony members, including the queen. This method ensures every termite gets a lethal dose, leading to a collapse of the colony.
If you happen to see these termites, it is best to avoid disturbing them. They may be prompted to leave the disturbed site and discreetly move to another area to begin a new cycle of destruction. ALWAYS schedule an inspection with a professional.
