You cannot control termites if you don’t know where they are.
And termites are experts at hiding to protect themselves from the heat and dryness that can kill them.
Homeowners who find and kill a few termites when a vacuum cleaner cave in a termite-munched skirting board must find some live and busy termites to carry the termite bait back to the nest to eliminate the whole colony.
Use Termite Monitors and Bait to Bring Termites to You
Termite monitors filled with cardboard or wood to attract termites.
When you see evidence of termites being busy in a monitor, insert termite bait that the workers will eat and carry back to the nest to share with the colony.
The termite bait destroys the young termites called nymphs and gases from their decomposing bodies destroy the nest along with its inhabitants.
Continue to replenish the termite bait until termites stop harvesting at the termite monitor.
Voila! Effective termite control!
You’ve helped them self-destruct!
Termite Control Requires Vigilance
Homeowners must be vigilant to guard against termites because a new colonising flight of termites occur each year and just a few termites will be successful and build new nests.
By placing termite monitors around houses and inspecting buildings and wooden structures for termites once or twice a year, property owners can control termites and preserve the value and comfort of their homes.
