Due to its large and innovative station design, termites find Trelona ATBS bait stations fast. Termites feed upon the  cellulose matrix within Trelona Compressed Termite  Bait,  which termites prefer over the wood used in homes. Termites travel back to the colony, sharing the bait containing Novaluron, a fast-acting chitin synthesis inhibitor. As a result, Trelona ATBS achieves  on-going structural protection through colony elimination.

Termites cause damage in hidden areas, behind walls, under floors, in crawl spaces, attics and basements. This damage can be truly devastating, costing individual homeowners thousands of dollars in structural repair. Termites work 24 hours/7 days a week at damaging the wood in and around a structure.

Unfortunately, there may be no or few warning signs but look for these:

• Termites “swarming” during the day or early evening and often after rainfall.
• Termite evidence in or around windows and doorframes.
• Shelter tubes appearing on or around the foundation.
• Baseboards and floors which may sound hollow.
• Dead termites or termite wings on window sills or along walls.

Termites can enter homes with as little as 1/32-of-an- inch opening and usually unseen through shelter tubes in hidden areas.

Termites eat cellulose, the basic building block of wood. termites will also eat other cellulose materials such as books, sheetrock paper, picture frames

Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage.

Typically termite control can be achieved in less than a few months, however, factors beyond the control of the bait or PMP (such as colony size, location, environmental conditions and amount of other cellulose) may contribute to how long it takes the bait to work.

Pest Assassins will monitor your system on a scheduled cycle to ensure the current infestation is eliminated and and future threats are dealt with.

Subterranean termites live in the ground, not wood piles. Any termites trapped in the fire wood will not survive without the colony and queen. However, carpenter ants and wood boring beetles are capable of coming in with the fire wood and potentially cause a future infestation issue.
