Pest Management Professionals offer two basic types of treatment options. The first option is known as a termite bait system. This approach involves installing termite bait stations around the perimeter of a home every 10-15 feet. The stations are then checked on a regular basis by the PMP. Upon finding termites in the stations, a bait cartridge is placed inside the station which is fed upon by termites and destroys the colony attacking the home. The second option is known as a liquid chemical barrier treatment.

While both approaches are effective at controlling termites, the bait system technology offers several advantages:

1. Less invasive to your home (no drilling, no liquid chemicals)
2. Long-term protection as a result of the ongoing monitoring done by your pest managment professional that does not degrade over time
3. Service convenience due to the fact that it is performed only on the outside your home

BASF provides professional applications with:

1. The Advance Termite Bait System – a patented dual-stage, dual-food source, next generation bait system
2. Termidor termiticide/insecticide – the #1 liquid termiticide in the US

Your pest management professional can help determine which approach is best for your situation.
