encourage more termites to eat the bait and die. Because it is slow acting, you will not
see dead termites inside the stakes. Termites that eat the bait die.
Results depend upon many factors and may take one to four months or longer. The time
required for effectiveness depends upon how quickly the termites enter the stake and
feed upon the bait. Some other factors include the type of termite involved, weather,
moisture and time of year.
This product is intended for use only against subterranean termites, the most common
type of termites found in the United States. If you live near coastal areas in the Southeast,
Gulf Coast or Southern California, you may have another type of termite known as the
drywood termite. The drywood termite lives in undecayed wood with little moisture and
does not maintain constant contact with the ground. Therefore, the stakes located in the
ground will not work against these termites. A home could have both subterranean and
drywood termites in the vicinity.
These same coastal areas may also contain Formosan subterranean termites, a very difficult-
to-control termite. If you live in these areas of the country, regular termite inspections are
recommended to determine if drywood or Formosan termites are in your home.
If you live in an area suspected to contain Formosan termites, the frequency of stake
monitoring should be increased to once a month.
