Effective Subterranean Termites Control using XTERM Bait System
What is the XTERM Bait System?
The XTERM Bait System from Sumitomo is an advanced termite control method that uses strategically placed bait stations to attract and eliminate Subterranean Termites. The bait matrix is made of specially selected compressed cellulose. The active ingredient is a highly active, new generation of Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that affects the moulting process of termites. It is virtually harmless to vertebrates.
The Baiting Concept
Termite baiting system capitalizes on the natural behaviour of termites. As social insects, termites share their food in a process known as trophallaxis. This trait allows slow acting toxicants to be transferred through the colony. It is important that the action of the toxicant is slow enough to allow the termites to feed, travel back to their nest, and share before taking effect.
Key Features of XTERM Bait System
Attractive Bait Matrix
Highly Palatable: Specially formulated to be irresistible to subterranean termites, ensuring they consume the bait.
