This product is intended for use in an ongoing program of management and control of subterranean termite colonies in the ground around and under any type of building/structure. ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait does not completely terminate termites from a structure and instead, suppresses or eliminates termite colonies. Sufficient consumption of this product by subterranean termites may protect the building/structure from potential damage from the the termites.

The active ingredient in ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait, diflubenzuron, is an insect development inhibitor. When consumed by a termite, diflubenzuron impairs the ability of a termite to molt. Molting is the process by which termites, at certain points in their development, shed their existing exoskeleton and form a replacement exoskeleton. Termites that attempt to molt after ingesting an mount of this product sufficient to impair their molting process either die or are incapacitated by their inability to complete the molting process. Insect development inhibitors such as diflubenzuron are characterized as slow acting toxicants, however their action is slow only to the extent that they affect a termite only at the points in its life cycle when it molts. Because all the termites in a colony do not molt at the same time, the effect of diflubenzuron on the colony as a whole is progressive. This progressive effect is one of the key attributes of diflubenzuron as a termite colony toxicant.

Sufficient consumption of ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait by a termite colony can cause a decline in the number of members of the colony. Such a decline, if sustained by continued consumption of this product by the colony, can significantly impair the vitality of the colony. Further, continued consumption by remaining colony members may ultimately result in the total elimination of the colony. The extent of the decline of the colony, the speed of its decline and the possibility of its elimination depends upon the extent to which ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait is made continuously available to a colony for consumption and the extent to which members of the colony consume it. Close adherence to the General Use Directions can increase the likelihood of colony elimination, however, conditions or circumstances beyond the control of the user may prevent or substantially delay colony elimination. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, alternate non-bait food sources that reduce the extent to which the colony depends on ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait as a food source, excess moisture, low or high temperatures or abandonment of feeding on the bait by the colony. Because termites cannot be attracted, they must instead find the station as they randomly forage for food. This product affects termite colonies only if they consume it.

If the cycle of pre-baiting and baiting around a structure is interrupted or discontinued, new colonies occupying the territory of suppressed or eliminated colonies, existing colonies that were suppressed but not eliminated, existing colonies never baited or colonies that were pre-baited may forage at points of possible entry into and infest the structure. For this reason, the cycle of pre-baiting and baiting should continue for as long as it is desirable to suppress or eliminate subterranean termites. If a conventional termite liquid barrier treatment is performed in conjunction with an installation of ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait, care must be taken not to treat in the area of installed stations (preferably not within two feet of stations). Because the use of this product may be a multi-step process, localized treatment(s) of areas of the structure infested with active termites at the time of pre-baiting or baiting, using soil type termiticides may provide more immediate control of termites in those parts of the structure than ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait. Preventative critical area soil or wood treatments may be performed in conjunction with station installation. Do not treat in areas of installed stations during routine pesticide applications.

PRE-BAITING

Pre-baiting is a process by which termite activity is established at a location prior to the application of ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait at that location. Wood, cardboard, or other cellulose containing substances that are consumed by subterranean termites may be used as pre-bait. The non-toxic food materials provide a pre-baiting food source for termites that, upon being fed on by termites, establishes termite activity within the station. If there is termite activity at a pre-baiting site, make ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait continuously available for colony consumption by placing it in the station and replenishing consumed amounts for as long as termite activity is present in the station. However, once they have consumed the prebait, termites can normally be induced to consume the bait. These termites then guide other colony members back to the bait station where they also consume it. After termite activity has been absent from a baited station for at least 60 days, the monitoring (pre-baiting) process is resumed by cleaning out the station and replacing the monitor or prebait. In order to affect as many of the termites as possible that currently or could potentially infest a structure, every termite colony that inhabits the ground under and around the structure must be pre-baited and/or baited with ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait.

DIRECT BAITING

Placing the ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait bait directly into a station is permitted in areas of suspected termite activity. Follow directions for station installation and fill with ADVANCE Compressed Termite Bait.
