All the different group has its own tasks and are structured to keep the colony growing. The four main group comprise of the Queen, King, Workers and Soldier.
The Queen Termite lays about 20,000 eggs a day. Soldier termite protect the colony from predators. Worker are responsible to feed the Termite colony. Without the Worker Termites bringing the food back, the colony won’t be able to survive.
It is impossible finding the nest and get to the Queen. To stop the infestation, the baits has to reach the Queen. Termite baiting targets the workers to bring the baits to feed the whole colony. As it is known that Subterranean Termites can travel up to 100 metres to look for food.
It is not advisable to dig into a Termite nest. There has been cases of human being bitten by a termite. It is extremely uncommon, termite bites can leave small red bumps on the affected area. Although Termite do not bite people, the soldier termite will protect the colony at all cost.
There is also a reproductive group where there are future king and queen. Once the colony has matured, these reproductive group will fly to search for a new colony. The winged termite will look to start a new cycle.
The signs of termite swarmer or alates can sometimes be seen around the house as they are drawn to light. Reproductive termites are vital for keeping the termite colony viable and successful. If there are no reproductive termites in the colony, the colony will eventually collapse. While all termite colonies must have reproductive termites, subterranean termites of North America are the most studied and most reported.
There have been debates that Pest Management treatment such as Dusting and Liquid Termiticide works for the Subterranean Termite. Our Termite Pest Control Singapore Services evaluate every situation and structure of the Subterranean Termite to solve the problem.
No Immediately killing
An active ingredient will be planted close to the Termite feeding area for Workers to bring to the nest. The slow acting solution gives Workers ample of time to travel back to the nest and feed the colony. The bait eventually reaches the Queen, the Soldiers Termites, young Nymph and the rest of the colony. The Workers will be affected and slowly dies, cutting off the food source, killing the termites.
Termite need to be seen and monitor
The Baiting Station allow us to monitor the Termite activity to understand the ratio between the Workers and Soldiers. The whole colony collapses when Workers do not provide the necessary food supply for the nest. Termite Baiting System reviews has been positive and our Pest Control Services highly recommended this method.
Termite are Attracted to the Baits
Termites are after cellulose, an organic fibre found in wood. The Termites do not carry the wood back to the colony. Instead, Termites bite the wood and break it down to what they need. They are able to digest the cellulose with the help of micro organisms in their guts.
Termite baits enable them to skip this process and get them the cellulose they are after, faster. In a layman term way to explain, someone who is looking to build muscle, eat chicken breast for the protein. However, taking protein shakes also enable them to get their protein. Likewise, the termite will be drawn to the termite baits more often than not.
