What is termite baiting?

Portland termite baiting involves the placement of below ground and in-structure bait stations. These are effective on subterranean termites, the most common variety in the Northwest. Bait stations come in several varieties, and we’ll make specific recommendations depending on your infestation level. Stations are either baited with wood/inspection cartridges or toxicant treated bait.

  • Inspection cartridge/wood: These are regularly checked and used to determine whether or not termites are in the area.
  • Toxicant bait: This treated bait is taken back to the colony by termites and poisons the colony from within.

Stations are effective for discouraging termite colonies as well. If a colony has not yet been established this treatment method may act as a deterrent.
