Trelona® ATBS Annual Bait Stations create a ring of protection around the home thatdoesn’t attract termites but intercepts them during their natural foraging behavior.Foraging termites when they discover a food source, start feeding, and travel back tothe colony, leaving a pheromone trail behind. Termites returning to the colony interact with other nest mates, sharing the bait , whileother termites follow the pheromone trail back to the bait. Over time, more and moretermites will have been recruited and fed upon the bait. Exposed termites will moltimproperly and die which is the beginning of the process of colony elimination.
