DIY Termite Monitoring System
The "DIY Termite Monitors" has been developed using that latest knowledge about Termite foraging behaviour and good old field knowledge (the things we have learnt by trial and error).
Science has shown that termites forage freely in soil that is within the 255 to 375 micron range and when this soil contains moderate to high levels of moisture the termite foraging activity is increased greatly. Termites have the ability to size up & evaluate the food value of material found during their foraging activity. They then recruit other termites to effectively retrieve this perceived food value.
That is where the DIY Termine Monitor fits in, combining 'cellulose and non cellulose material' to give the termites a false food size value, one much larger than the true cellulous content. The centre core of the nester provides the non cellulose bulk and tricks the termites into thinking that there is more food than there actually is. This combines to create:
- Termite Heaven.
- An easy foraging space in quality soil.
- A concentration of available moisture.
- A situation which gives termites only the "BEST".
Your Options
You can make use of DIY Termite Monitors in a number of ways:
- Wish to install several or even more on problem jobs and include the price in your original proposal
- Consider a complete stand alone system installed suitably to the proprietory ones but with none of the proprietory systems attendant costs. Remember you can easily buy both the insect growth regulator baits on the market. (ie. Hexaflumuron & Chlorfluazoran)
You could also:
- Allow the client to monitor the system and advise you when termites attack. You charge for any visits or materials.
- Monitor the system yourself
- Sell pre packaged DIY Termite Monitors for the client to install and monitor themselves. We provide you with a monitoring booklet for your client.
- Any other combination or permutation that you consider.
If you buy 1000 or more DIY Termite Monitors we can even brand the lids with your company name or telephone number.
