Proven Ways to Control Termites
Have you ever seen termites scurry away when you overturned a log or a piece of timber you thought would come in handy one day?
Did you wonder if they vanished from your property forever?
Although situations vary, the typical answer is “Probably not.”
The few hundred (or thousands) of foraging termites are only the tip of the termite iceberg.
Even if these termites dehydrate from exposure to the air, are eaten by garden ants or just fail to return to their nest, the queen is laying thousands of eggs a day so new workers will take their place.
The only way to control termites is to use a proven treatment method.
And turning over logs has not yet proven successful in destroying termite nests unless the log is the nest!
Monitors and Household Safe Bait Provide One Method that Works
TermiTraps filled with cellulose material and placed around your property provide an effective method to control termites.
Once termites begin harvesting the contents of the traps, do-it-yourselfers can add household-safe bait so that worker termites take it back to share with the colony. Regular inspections of the traps and appropriate replenishment of bait to actively feeding termites can kill the colony.
This termite control process may take one or two months once termites begin feeding. When termites are no longer harvesting, you can be confident that the nest is destroyed.
