The Exterra Termite Interception and Baiting System is superior to other baiting systems and methods. This is because it represents a simplified approach to termite baiting. This simplified approach results in a minimization of the disturbance of termites during inspections and baiting, a key attribute of an effective baiting system. Other multi-step baiting systems remove their interceptors in order to inspect them for termite attack.
This removal disturbs the termites infesting the interceptor potentially resulting in the termites leaving the station.
Exterra stations are designed to permit visual inspection of the interceptors for termite activity without removing or disturbing the interceptors. Because the interceptors are not removed during inspection, disturbance of termite feeding during station inspection is minimized. Other multi-step baiting systems remove their interceptors during the baiting process.
