When I lived in Texas, we had bait stations around the house like they show here, but ours were spring-loaded so that when the cellulose bait material was eaten away enough, a brightly colored rod would pop up sticking out the top to indicate a new bait pack needed to be installed.

@Dave--FkTheDeepstate 3 года назад

I used something like that in AZ. But I think they were just 'monitoring stations'. I was supposed to call an exterminator when I saw one of those orange sticks pop up. I'd prefer the inexpensive, colony killing option instead.

When they see it come up the next hole, they know they have filled the area. Same across out pool deck on the back of the house.. I found it from a article about an Orlando college dorm termite issue.. The school had hired several "pro's" and still had issues.

$10,000 no, but several thousand, yes. What Tyler forgot to mention is, just because you pay the thousands to put the system in, you don't own it, and if you don't pay the several hundred dollar, annual maintenance fee, the contractor will come out and remove the system. At least that's what happened in my case. I bought a house that had the system installed, and the contractor kept sending me a bill for maintenance, which I didn't want to pay; he came out and pulled the system. BORAX is your friend!

Is the termite poison that you drop on the grass like fertilizer very effective?

@quallzone6219 3 года назад

No, they are not very effective against termites compared to most other solutions. Most subterranean termite species generally reside several inches underground. Sprinkling pesticide granules like lawn fertilizer may reduce ants and other surface-dwelling insects, but after watering the lawn, the chance of the chemical penetrating deep enough and still be potent enough to kill a colony is extremely low. Of course, you specifically mentioned termite poison and not *Nematodes* which are different.

Sentticon works, but it is also over priced. You will be giving Tyler 300-450 per year for the rest of your life! Like marriage!

Matt, where do many builders put the rubbish from the lot? Under the home is quite normal.

Don't really understand why he is worried about termites on a brick build. Maybe near the trees..

@ronaldwilliams9600 3 года назад

Termites will get inside a brick home through plumbing routes and cracks in a poured concrete foundation.

it’s only a brick veneer on a timber frame Many timber framed houses get eaten beyond repair in Australia.

i have been in some 100 year old house and the framing is free of termites. this shit has to be like a bug zapper. No matter how many bugs it zaps it attracts more, so its about the same as no bug zapper. except you are guaranteed to have bugs. So you actually want to give bug zappers as gifts to your neighbors. then the bugs go to their houses, away from your house. plus they pay for electricity and have to clean up the dead bugs.
