Product Q&A

Answer:

The Advance Termite Bait System would only be effective to monitor and detect Subterranean Termites in the soil before the reach the home. This treatment will not treat or eliminate Drywood Termites.  Subterranean and Drywood Termites require 2 different types of treatments due to where the colony is based. Subterranean Termite colonies are below the soil surface and can be anywere within 100 ft of the home below the ground. Drywood Termite colonies form in the actual wood they are consuming. View our Subterranean Termite Insepction Guide and our Drywood Inspection Guide for information on how to identify which termite you have or possibly both.  For Subterranean Termites, the Termite Trench Method is the most effective treatment for active Subterranean Termites using Taurus SC. The trench method can elimnate active termites within 120 days and will provide a 10 year barrier protection against future termites. View our Subterranean Termite Treatment Guide for more information.  Drywood Termites can be directly treated using Termidor Foam if colonies are located behind wall voids, around windows, doors, behind cabinets, in ceilings, etc. If the infested or damaged wood is open and exposed, BoraCare would be recommended to spray/paint on damaged or new wood in it’s bare state (no paint, stain or sealant). This application will absorb completely throughout wood and last the entire life of the wood for protection against wood destroying insects.  View our Drywood Treatment Guide for more information.
