Here at Trius Pest Management, our use of termite monitors is in addition to Liquid termiticide, foam termiticide, structure modification, and liquid borates.
Our experience is that the first four (4) steps are sufficient for control of the typical termite infestation. Our concern is that steps one through four con not be quantified as to effectiveness. And therefore, add a Termite Monitoring System to each and every termite service as an addtional line of defense. Remember, termites are typically hidden inside the walls of a structure, looking inside the walls to confirm they are gone is not practical.
So as to confirm that the steps we have taken are effective, we install monitors in select soil locations as part of every termite service we perform. Because a typical termite infestation has a source outside the structure, and because “monitors” intercept and detect ongoing activity, monitors prove to be very useful. As we inspect and confirm activity, we can treat and control them there with a “low level bait”.
The benefit of this methodology is less quantity of pesticides (Termiticides), lower fees, and confirmed control.
For those of you who currently have either our Home Protection Plan, Carpenter Ant Service, or Tick Prevention Program, we can "Add-On" a Termite Monitoring Program for Pennies a Day!
