The EXTERRA Termite Bait System – what are your options?
Extensive field trials clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the EXTERRA Termite Baiting system for termite control in USA and Australia in certain specific circumstances. Live termite activity found? Termite baits should be used where live termite activity is found within a building or surrounds. The EXTERRA Termite Bait stations (with the EXTERRA termite bait inside) is attached directly onto such LIVE termite activity sites. Readily consumed if found The EXTERRA Termite Bait is made of cellulose ingredients that termites readily consume. The consumed termite bait is spread to other termites in the central colony nest resulting in the eventual elimination of the entire termite colony. CONSUMER NOTE: Some unscrupulous pest controllers offer a termite baiting program even though NO live termites have actually been are found. Please note: Termites are blind and MAY by chance find the termite bait stations BUT obviously your home is a much bigger target than little plastic “bait stations” in the ground around the building. Many consumers are duped into believing that the termite bait stations contain the chemical bait in the “termite bait stations”. This often is NOT the case. In addition such so called monitoring or termite preventive service MAY result in the termites severely damaging the building and not coming into contact with the “baiting station”.
