How do I Monitor for Termite Activity?

This couldn’t be any simpler and it's all in the instructions. Record your installation date on the log sheet we provide you with. On the back of the log sheet is a grid which you can sketch your house and yard on and mark and number the positions of your Termi-mite stations. About three weeks after you have installed your stations, all you have to do is fold back the grass (if it’s in the lawn) or brush back the leaves and mulch (if it’s in the garden).

Simply clear enough dirt or mulch so you can remove the cap of the central tube and quickly remove the pine rod to see if there are any termites eating it. If there are, immediately replace the pine rod and the cap and recover the unit with soil or mulch. If there are termites on the pine rod in the central tube of any of the stations you know that the termite numbers have reached the point where effective treatment can be administered. 

The termites have to eat all the way through the main core of the central chamber to reach the piece of timber in the central chamber. By this time the chamber will be full of termites. Thus you are assured of amassing large numbers of termites inside your Termi-Mite station. 

We recommend that you check your Termi-Mite Monitoring and Treatment Stations once a month. We will send you an e-mail reminder so you don’t forget. You can also get free advice at any time through our head office team.
