The Termite Colony Elimination System takes full account of termite biology, ecology and behavior characteristics of study, applies of the TTR (trap - treatment - release) and the idea of termites’ comprehensive management. It can eliminate the termite colony, not just individual termites. It includes two types: indoor type and outdoor type.

Indoor type:  

The indoor type and outdoor type can be used together, or solely. When there is no green belt outdoor or not suitable to dig holes, the indoor type also can be used solely. It can be fixed in the wall, floor, the surface of wood or any other place where there are termite traces. The suitable surface should be better bigger than 8×12CM, when no such plane, create one with wrinkled paper or any other materials that termite likes. When installing, erase dust on the surface of hole, wet the bait with water or sweet water 5%~10%, cover the bottom of box in the place where termites are active, and fix with adhesive tape, or with two screws inside.

Outdoor type:

Termite control entails a 3 Step process:

(1) Initial monitoring to pinpoint termite activity

Initially, each station is provisioned with two untreated pieces of wood, intended as monitoring devices for the presence of termites in the area.

The station is inserted into an augured hole in the ground, with the cover flush with the soil surface. Monitoring stations are installed around the outside perimeter of the building, at about 1.5~2m intervals and 30~50cm alongside the foundation. Narrower intervals, while more effort to install and inspect, increase the odds that termites will encounter them during foraging.

(2) Delivery of the bait

When termites are found in a monitoring station, the untreated wood is replaced with a perforated plastic tube containing sulfluramid 0.08%PB.

To hasten the overall process, termites feeding on the wood pieces are carefully dislodged and placed within the bait tube. Eventually, these termites tunnel through and out of the perforated tube, reuniting with their nestmates in the soil. In doing so, they leave behind a colony-specific scent that promotes recruitment of other nestmates to the bait.

(3) Subsequent monitoring to provide ongoing protection of the structure.

After termites are no longer found in installed Baitubes, the baits are once again replaced with untreated wood pieces and monitoring continues.
