The mechanism of scent attraction for termites
1οΈβ£ Mimics decaying wood scent β Attracts termites to their natural food source.
2οΈβ£ Triggers foraging β The scent activates termite feeding behavior.
3οΈβ£ Conceals the poison β Termites consume the bait naturally without detecting toxins.
4οΈβ£ Attracts more termites β The scent draws worker termites to the bait.
π Mechanism: Scent lure β termites feed β poison spreads in the nest. π
Mechanism of one termite spreading the poison to the entire colony
1οΈβ£ Eat the bait β Worker termites are attracted by the smell of decaying wood and consume the bait.
2οΈβ£ Return to the nest β They carry the bait back before the poison takes effect.
3οΈβ£ Share the bait β Termites feed each other, spreading the poison within the colony.
4οΈβ£ Chain spread β The toxin transfers from termite to termite throughout the nest.
5οΈβ£ Queen affected β The queen consumes the bait, reducing reproduction or causing death.
6οΈβ£ Colony collapse β The colony cannot reproduce and gradually dies out.
π Core mechanism: Eliminates the colony from the inside, targeting the queen termite. π
β METHOD 1 β CARDBOARD BAIT TRAP (Most Effective Method β
)
Suitable for subterranean termites.
1. Open the tablet and collect the attractant gel inside.
2. Apply the gel onto pieces of cardboard, paper board, or decayed wood.
3. Lightly spray water to create a moist environment.
4. Fold or arrange the cardboard pieces to form a simple bait trap.
5. Place or bury the trap near termite activity, termite tunnels, or suspected nest locations.
6. Cover the area to keep it dark and undisturbed.
β The moist cardboard and wood mimic the termites' natural food source, helping attract large numbers of termites to the bait.
β METHOD 2 β FURNITURE PLACEMENT
Suitable for cabinets, furniture, wooden floors, and hard-to-reach areas.
1. Place the bait under, behind, or beside areas where termites are active.
2. Check bait regularly and replace when consumed.
β Ideal for controlling termites attacking indoor wooden furniture.
β METHOD 3 β TERMITE TRAIL APPLICATION
Suitable for visible termite trails, mud tubes, and entry points.
1. Locate active termite trails, holes, or termite pathways.
2. Apply a small amount of attractant gel directly onto the termite trail.
3. Leave undisturbed to allow termites to feed naturally.
β Helps termites locate the bait faster and increases feeding activity.
