Termite Control?

Question

I've been using the Advance Termite Bait System I bought from eBay for over a year now. The termites just keep coming back eating up the bait and I don't see any reduction in termites. I'm already on my next batch of bait which costs over $100 for a 6 pack of bait. The seller claims that the worker termite brings the bait to the nest which eventually destroys the nest and the queen (I guess it's like Combat for roaches). Has anyone tried this? I'm beginning to believe this system doesn't work and the seller's claim is false.

Answer 1

3 Years ago I was doing the same thing.Advance Termite Bait System and the results were the same.When i found out the damage the termites were doing,I bit the bullet and called Terminix.Within a few months those wood boring little bastards were gone.Then the expensive reparations began.Don't wait to long.You'd be amazed at the destruction an army of termites can cause.Hope this helps you.P.S. The cost was about 2000.00 for Terminix.

Answer 2

It doesn't work. Horizontal transfers has been recently proven to not work as advertised (I just got back from a seminar). It will kill the termite which came in contact, and the next one it touches. But that's where it ends. The poison will not go back to the nest. If you already have an infestation, then you need to call in a professional. If you're only doing this as a precaution, then you're wasting time, money and effort. Termites are a part of nature and will always be there, like roaches. You just don't want them in your house.

Answer 3

I would call in the professionals. There is nothing sold on the market that is as strong as the products used by professional companies.
