Thank you guys for watching! Please subscribe to my channel. I post about all kinds of pest control and bug content!
Here's an overview of this video. Basically, termite bait stations and liquid chemical treatments both work! They are more similar than they are different. Bait stations store the termite poison in stations around the perimeter of a structure while liquid treatments treat the soil directly.
Bait stations are a quicker solution for installation, they don't use as much chemical, and they are newer technology. Liquid treatments are a long term solution, use more chemical, and are traditional treatments.
I highly recommend getting your home treated for termites! Termites cause billions of dollars worth of damage each year. You need to know what termites are and how to identify them if you own a home that is built out of wood.

Hi Dan, I don't think this is an issue based on how they work, but I just wanted to double check. Can you tell me if bait stations are safe to use near a well, or how far away is the safe distance.

I have almost 37 years experience in the business. There’s nothing that comes close to Termidor SC. Not Termidor HE and definitely not Taurus SC and unfortunately the big national companies have evolved termite baits into a money making racket. If you have baits and the company is checking them more than a every 2 months basis you are being ripped off. I tried Taurus SC a couple years ago and had a 100% retreat rate. With Termidor HE its always worked but can take upwards of a year to get full control but with Termidor SC and almost 23 years of use it has a 0% retreat rate, yes zero.

This! Work for a pest control company and I was wondering if anyone stated this.

@Just.A.T-Rex Год назад

I notice you mentioned bait stations are a quicker solution but I disagree, stations can take a much longer time to eliminate an active colony. And I’ve inspected hundreds of homes with bait stations and active termites in the home that were attracted by the bait but then moved onto the home (the biggest bait station.) if soil conditions are very damp we usually go with imidacloprid as it stays put much better than fipronil in high saturated soils.

@steadyeddie7453 Год назад

I was also advised that if you have existing termites then the bait stations don't work. The termites have already found their wood source, so they could care less about the wood in the bait station.

@soquick69 11 месяцев назад

The Sentricon stations are always active. The "bait" is very durable cellulose material with the active chemical being noviflumeron which stops the termite from molting. They don't attract termites at first but termites are random foragers. They are constantly searching for food up to 100 yards from the colony. Once they find the station they will use pheromones to mark it as a food source. It's very effective. The University of Florida has multiple studies showing it's efficacy. Good info overall in the video. You have a good head for the business. Great advice at the end.

@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit 5 месяцев назад

It was all factual. Please tag me in your video :) Yes I said in the video that I am biased towards liquid but the baits also worked. I don't think we disagree you are just making an arguement out of nothing.

Painting bedrooms and found 3 rooms with drywall damage and one room with active bugs eating drywall paper. Plus there was one day swarmers were seen in that active room. House on a slab and Orkin drilled inside house through the foundation every 10-12 inches only on the obviously effected walls plus drilled into drywall down low and injected foam only on effected walls. They didn't trench outside but just squirted the Termidor every foot or more around the outside perimeter. Is it safe to assume the critters have been terminated? Should we still do annual inspection and further treatments only if activity is spotted? Appreciate any comments.

@anitamiller7724 4 месяца назад

@kevinyoung947 I believe they said they could've done either but in our case trenching would've been more as a preventive measure all around where the injecting every foot was more of what was needed in our case. Probably just a story IMO. Orkin was very proactive in that they came back 2 times for further treatment within a month to treat a north side of the house that couldn't be treated because we had an underground concrete cistern water supply 5 feet from the garage wall. We hooked up to city water and collapsed the cistern and Orkin was gracious enough to come back and treat that outside garage foundation.

@anitamiller7724 4 месяца назад

The builder has an agreement with your local pest control company to install the bait stations. When the year is up, you will hear from the pest control company who will inspect and service the monitors. At that time, you will have the option for continued (paid)service. The average price is around $300.00-$350.00 per year. You can shop around for the best price, but ask about the warranty.

@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Год назад

I think a system like Centricon is more effective. Since it has an IGR in it, once a worker feeds it to the queen none of the eggs she lays will ever mature properly which leads to a rapid collapse of the colony. The company I worked for charged an annual fee but we inspected the stations every three months.

@jessespad 2 года назад

I don't fully understand your question, because if it's just gravel against the slab, you can still dig a trench and treat. If it's like a concrete slab in your way, you drill holes and apply the liquid termiticide under the slab to form the barrier. If your house is built on a solid rock and there is no soil, which I've never seen, then you probably live in an area that doesn't have subterranean termites. A liquid soil treatment is only for subterranean termites. That may help answer your question, until Dan sees your comment. And I'm also a licensed pest technician as well, fyi.

Blame the States and Environmentalists. They are choppin' down hard on chemicals. Less chemicals the better and easier it is for everybody now. Also apparently, Liquid Treatments decline overtime. It doesn't "last" for 10 years but rather it gets less effective over a 10 year period.

@krisborn Год назад

Here's my take on the choices. I live in Thailand in a circa 1,000 sq. ft house. The climate is tropical and similar to the southern USA but with more rain. I opted for bait stations because of the standing groundwater which occurs so often. Last year I installed 20 bait stations around the house and found termites in 16 within the first two weeks. I baited the stations and effectively eradicated them within 3 months including the removal of a 2 meter long mound on the property. This winter was very wet again and after the groundwater dropped I rebaited the stations. This time 7 out of the 20 stations showed infestations. I choose the bait stations because of the flexibility of dealing with persistent infestations. I could never afford the cost of the liquids required. With global climate changes housing construction policies have to change to begin building houses on raised pillars again to mitigate infestations.

@wibertvijayakumar1988 6 месяцев назад

Very informative and appreciate your efforts👍🏼.There are termites in the Wardrobe(edges)which are made of plywood and covered with sunmica(fevicol fixed).How do liquid insecticide reach termites which are under sunmica.Even if sprayed over sunmica will it not come off due to any chemical reaction between insecticide and fevicol🤷‍♀️..? Hope ull answer ✌️

Liquid is only good for 5 years, you don’t have to change the sentricon bait every year unless 1/3 is gone.

@DanTheBugMan 2 года назад

Thank you! Well that depends on a lot of factors…. Snakes usually done hang around for long. There’s a product called snake away. And for spiders be sure to clear out any sticks or leaves around the house and maybe use a spray to get rid of them

How far away from the foundation should the bait traps be placed? How effective are the Spectracide bait traps that Home Depot sells? THANKS....

@christopherrapp4227 Год назад

How far do you place the bait stations from the structure and how many.

@held_muffin5472 9 месяцев назад

Im a termite technician myself. Our company's standard is placing the station about 2 to 3 feet from the roofline and away from gutter spouts. Stations should also be placed about 8 to 10 feet apart for the best results. This helps ensure that the termites will find the stations. Most companies will measure the linear footage of your home and give an estimate based on the measurements. If your home for example is 250 linear feet, its safe to assume that you will need about 25 stations around the house give or take to compensate for additional in ground stuctures/slabs around your home (pools, patios, etc.)

Is it worth it to purchase a contract with insurance? We pay 800 a year for bait stations and yard treatment. 3/4 acre lot with 20 stations//wood strips We average 1 station per year having to be treated on quarterly inspection.

@romi929 2 года назад

This was an awesome video !! I just found out that I have subterranean termites. I am in South Florida and I have a house With a crawl space . It seems that they are in the crawl space right now . No evidence for them inside the house . What would be the best approach in my case with the crawl space ? I had 4 different companies and they all give you different opinions and approaches . Very confusing 😳 Also one told me that I have a moisture issue in the crawl space and that I need to fix that first . That’s nothing that indicates a leak or anything. Other company said that’s no leak and moisture is not such an issue and to start placing these Baits stations ASAP. Who to believe?!😳

Go withe the bait stations. You can DIY it. You can buy the stations and bait at Home Depot. It will save you a bundle, but don't skimp on the number you install. They are cheap compared to the damage costs to repair structural damage to your house. Be sure and tell your neighbors you have them. They may be the source of your infestation!

@dwightanderson8331 Год назад

If you go with bait get a company to do it or see if you can order it. Dont get the cheap stuff at home depot or wal mart it wont work the way you think just read the label it will say IF YOU HAVE TERMITE ACTIVITY YOU NEED A LISCENSED COMPANY TO DEAL WITH IT. Dont waste money cheap will cost you more in the end.

@thisismychannel607 Год назад

I've been installing sentricon for years, I never try to sell it, I always try to steer the customer to liquid but that's what my company sells. It's trash, very scammy product, I believed in it when I first started but after seeing homes get eaten up. I remember going to inspect stations and the customer showed me a trash bin that he used to store firewood, he drilled 3holes in the bottom to drain rain water, there were mud tubes all the way up to the top log, not even 2 feet away was one of our stations, zero activity. Completely lost faith in this product

@Just.A.T-Rex Год назад

Liquid treatment is the best kills faster and cheaper in long run. My termite management business sells 93% percent (I just checked) more liquid treatments than bait stations. A lot of people don’t want to have to pay the monthly fee to check and the warranty is much different. A termidor treatment on a slab home with not much concrete drilling shouldn’t cost more than $795-1000 depending on linear and square footage.

Hello, I live in the Philippines, We have an Active infestation from Subterranean termites, to the point if I put a piece of plywood on the ground, within 3 days the termites will be all over the ground facing surface of the plywood! So finding them is not an issue... He get a metric ton of rain here, being a small island, so I am thinking my best bet is to make a few Mounds & place the bait traps in them incase there are multiple colonies. That way the rain wont wash them out. What is / are the main active ingredients that I should look for in baits?

@ATLsCocoaDulce 3 месяца назад

It looks like the active ingredient in Termidor is Fipronil. The same active ingredient in the Dcon roach motel bait stations and the same as Frontline for dogs etc. It that correct? My house has Sentricons placed by the previous owner but I dug half of them up because they were in stupid locations and I didn't want to pay to have them inspected every year. Sentricon is very protective of the industry and I have not been able to find the refills online for the homeowner. I was able to find the key/wrench thing to open them up but not to refill them. The DIY bait stations I have found are just the cellulose and not the poison.

There is a third option: Bora-Care treatment for the foundation and first two feet of lumber of your home (attic too if you’re in an area with flying termites). Borate-based treatments are WAY more eco-friendly than soil or bait stations, it lasts for the life of your house, and it protects your wood from more than just termites (wood boring beetles, mold, rot). The wood in your house is what you want to protect, may as well treat it directly!

@Mike-g5p2n 7 месяцев назад

You do not need to replace the bait every year. Noviflumuron in sentricon has around a 20 year shelf/ half life. You need to check annually to make sure a station hasn’t been depleted. That’s when you need to replace a bait. The video to me sounded like you’re saying every year all stations need new bait.

@michaelmerck7576 5 месяцев назад

@kellymorrow8929 Год назад

The Trelona bait system in 2023 is the best bait system on the market today because it has an almost pure cellulose bait and is highly attractive to termites because of the high cellulose content--also the material that kills out the colony is an IGR with no toxicity to mammals. It is best for prevention but in most circumstances needs to be used in conjunction with a Termidor liquid treatment if termites are well inside the structure.

So its sallow water not deep soil water. Im affraid if we using the liquid chemical treatment will effect to our water source and can harm our family. Please let me know about this chemical effect to human body if we consumed it, thanks
