Bait Treatment System Introduced To Control Termites
By Tony Alabastro

Bandar Seri Begawan - A Termite Baiting Station detects and bars termite activity from invading the home, said Brunei's only ISO-certified pest control company.

"Our mission is to develop, market and deliver high quality services to secure a clean, safe, healthy, productive and comfortable environment for work and leisure," said Jose F. Robles III, Managing Director, ISS Thomas Cowan Sdn Bhd.

The bait treatment system controls subterranean termites, which live in soil colonies and enter houses in search of wood-based food, said the company.

It detects termite activity around the property and structure. The bait, a stomach poison, works by not converting food into energy.

When the worker termites die, the queen and the soldier termites starve. The colony cannot feed itself, and it dies.

A termite toxicant bait stake will kill 10,000 to 30,000 termites within 60 to 90 days. It will take 20 termite stakes to kill the average 250,000-termite colony.

Termites do not live in houses, and must constantly return to the ground for moisture and food supply for the colony.

They enter the house unseen through electrical conduit, and cracks and opening around plumbing walls, said the pest control company, which provides the bait treatment system. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
