Plastic bait stations containing a special type of wood, attractive to termites are placed in the ground around the property. This Non-baited wood which is placed in each station is regularly monitored for any termite activity.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The monitoring stations are placed around every\u00a0<strong>10-15 feet apart<\/strong>\u00a0(on average) around the periphery of the property. Over years of research under\u00a0<strong>Indian climatic condition<\/strong>, this has shown to be the optimal distance to rule out the chances of termites entering your home without feeding on a monitoring station. Depending on the level of activity at the stations, a\u00a0<strong>termite baiting expert<\/strong>\u00a0may recommend adding more bait stations. He may even decide changing the location of station to a more suitable place.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>If any termite activity is noticed then this food (wood) is replaced by a specific Bait. The termite bait is a mixture of cellulose material (similar to that found in wood, but more attractive) and a slow-acting termiticide. A \u201ctasty\u201d bait is a prerequisite so that termites will readily consume it, even in the presence of competing tree roots, stumps, woodpiles and building\u2019s wooden structure. Termites cannot see or smell the baits underground. They freely wander into them during their restless foraging activities.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Termites keep on feeding this bait without being killed and are allowed to go back to their termite colony. Delayed-action triggers the transmission of the lethal agent to other termites and queen and including those that never fed on the bait.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It is an established fact that once termite queen is killed the whole colony perishes. An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, although\u00a0<strong>total colony elimination<\/strong>\u00a0is not always necessary to achieve structural protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94eb847 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94eb847\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>How long does it take to control termites using Baiting technology?<\/b><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Depending on the season of the year and population size of the colony, it typically takes\u00a0<strong>4-8 month<\/strong>\u00a0to eliminate a colony but can take up to\u00a0<strong>12 months<\/strong>\u00a0in rare cases. For some property owners, taking several months to achieve control is too long, but homeowners can remain assured since the termites feeding on the bait are not attacking their home. Moreover, by actually eliminating the colony,\u00a0 they are providing protection to your property for long durations.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>One of the biggest challenges in baiting is getting termites to discover the baits in the first place. This time taken by termites for discovery will vary from property to property, depending on such factors as termite foraging intensity, time of year, moisture, and food availability. For example, on one infested property of our client in\u00a0<strong>DLF farms in Chattarpur, Delhi<\/strong>, more than a dozen monitoring devices were \u201chit\u201d (attacked) by termites within a fortnight of installation. Just contrary to this, another<strong>\u00a0Farm-house<\/strong>\u00a0in the same neighbourhood, no below-ground stations were attacked during a span of full six months.
