Question: Termites inside the house. Need Firstline indoor bait stations.

Answer : Unfortunately we do not carry bait stations for indoor installation. However, we do carry Termiticides that you can use for spot treatment inside the wall void or floor areas where you may be seeing an active infestation.

Infestation of termites in the walls of our main bathroom.

Friday, 29. April 2011 15:51

Q      : We have what appears to be a localized infestation of termites in the walls of our main bathroom. Is it reasonable to think we could use some baits outside and foam inside the walls to eradicate this? Or can we only use an exterminator to do the job? If so, what would be the most effective means to do so?

A       : A do it yourself treatment will help you save a lot of money rather than hiring an exterminator to complete the job for you. All the products that we carry are the same professional grade products that professionally licensed pest control operators’ use.  As long as the product is a registered product in your state, you are able to legally purchase the chemicals for personal use. When an active infestation is spotted chemical treatment is always recommended. For outdoor treatment, trenching would be a preferred method. For indoor treatment, spot treatment with in the wall void areas would be highly recommended as well. After the chemical treatment has been finished, installing bait stations around the home would be a good follow up treatment to keep track of the termite activity in your area.

Winged ants in my attic space what will they do?

Question : Winged ants in my attic space what will they do? How to get rid of them?

Termite       Ant

Answer  : The best way to approach this treatment would be to make sure that the ant swarmers are not termite swarmers. Termite swarmers and ant swarmers look very similar. The best way to distinguish them apart is to catch one with masking tape and observer their body segments. For termites, their head, thorax, and abdomen all look as if it all runs together. However ant swarmers have three very distinguished body segments where the head, thorax, and abdomen do not look as if they are all running together.
If they appear to be termite swarmers, it is recommended that you proceed with chemical spot treatment.

We have Sentricon plastic moniters. Will the Shatter Bait work in these? the moniters look the same?

Q       :We have Sentricon plastic monitors. Will the Shatter Bait work in these? the monitors look the same?

A       : Yes, Sentricon stations will work with the Shatter Baits. Any of the hex pro replacements will also work with the Sentricon stations. Although the color and design may look slightly different, the sizes for the two stations remain universal because it is manufactured by the same company. Installing your own baiting stations will save you up to 70% compared to hiring an exterminator.

The usage of the monitors are the same too. It is recommended that you check the monitors quarterly for any active termite activity. Once an active infestation is found in a monitoring station it is recommended that you replace the monitoring cartridge with the baiting cartridge.
