Giddy-Up Go Termite and Pest Control, Inc. Advance™ Bait System
Whitmire Micro-Gen Advance™ Termite Bait System is used in the following way:
First, a pest management professional will inspect your home for termites and if they are found or if your risk is high, the Advance Termite Bait System will be installed in soil around the perimeter of your home.
The stations will be checked regularly for termite activity. (Fig 1)
When termites are found in a station, (Fig 2) the Termite Inspection Cartridge (TIC), containing no active ingredient, is replaced with a termite bait cartridge so termites can start feeding on the bait. (Fig 3)
(See Fig 3 left) As termites feed and then travel back to the colony, they share termite bait with other nestmates (trophallaxis) and send other termites back to feed on the bait. As feeding on the bait continues and more and more termites are affected, the termite colony starts to die and is eliminated.
After a colony is eliminated, the bait is replaced with new monitoring cartridges. Your pest management professional will continue to inspect these regularly to discover and treat new colonies that might invade your property. (Fig 4)
