More Manufacturer Reaction To Outdoor Bait Stations

Manufacturers are continuing to introduce stations that effectively protect and preserve baits while at the same time allow for easy feeding by the target pest. Here’s what a number of leading manufacturers had to say about the topic of outdoor perimeter baiting using bait stations.

"Termite monitoring/baiting has provided the PMP with an additional tool to provide the best protection for structures. This also gives the consumer an additional peace of mind that their most valuable asset is being monitored for long-term protection against a destructive insect. In addition, with the advent of many dual-income families, scheduling and performing interior inspection and control measures have become very difficult. With exterior perimeter monitoring devices, the customer does not need to be home during the visit. One of the most effective ways to prevent pest problems inside the home is to stop them outside the home first."

"We are just seeing the beginning of the use of liquid baits and outdoor perimeter bait stations. As more and more companies experience ant callbacks, they will start looking at new methods to control ants. Liquid baiting use will increase and as pest management professionals see the results they achieve from liquid baiting more and more will increase their liquid baiting and more companies will turn to liquid baiting as another tool for ant control."

"Baiting currently permits the pest management professional to control cockroaches. We are now able to use the same baiting technology to work toward controlling ants."

"With this form of monitoring it is not necessary to put harsh chemicals into the customer’s property, therefore, they can monitor termite activity and give the customer peace of mind that there aren’t any harsh chemicals involved."

"Anytime a PMP can offer a service that protects the structure and its inhabitants from pests and pesticides will reinforce the continual challenge of our industry as being a

responsible and concerned industry."
