Reverse Termite Infestations with Trelona Bait Stations
The active ingredient in the Trelona Advanced Termite Bait System is Novaluron, which disrupts termite development. It specifically targets the molting process, preventing immature termites from growing an exoskeleton. These termites die off, and eventually, the entire colony collapses.
Worker termites consume the termite bait from the Trelona bait stations and share it with other termites through trophallaxis (food exchange). Not only does the Novaluron’s effect spread through the colony, there are also fewer workers to feed the soldiers and reproductive termites, and starvation accelerates the infestation’s decline.
Features of Trelona Termite Bait Stations
The Trelona ATBS is an in-ground bait station constructed from heavy-duty plastic that withstands soil conditions while remaining accessible. Termites can enter the stations easily through openings along the sides. The central chamber holds compressed Trelona termite bait cartridges, making sure termites stay exposed to the Novaluron while they forage.
The termite bait is pre-loaded so that you can use it right away without a separate monitoring phase. The ATBS station’s tamper-resistant cap helps protect the bait from environmental factors and allows for quick cartridge replacements.
Trelona Termite Bait Station Benefits
Unlike traditional liquid treatments, which create a chemical barrier, environmentally friendly Trelona termite bait stations lure termites with highly palatable bait that encourages quick consumption. Because they also function as a continuous interception system, they help prevent future infestations by attracting and eliminating new colonies before they reach a structure.
With a durable, in-ground design, Trelona bait stations offer year-round protection with minimal servicing. In addition, the stations are built to withstand various soil conditions, providing reliable termite defense even in harsh environments.
How to Use Trelona ATBS Bait Stations
Here’s how to deploy your Trelona ATBS system:
- Install stations 10 to 20 feet apart around the perimeter, focusing on moisture-prone areas.
- Bury each station flush with the ground.
- Check stations annually, or more often in high-risk areas, for bait depletion.
- If bait is heavily consumed, replace the cartridge with a new one.
- Keep stations in place year-round for continuous termite defense, even after colony elimination.
