This is a new method in detection and control of subterranean termites. This method involves building underground stations. To build a station, dig a small area (e.g, 18″×18″) of ground about 1″ to 4″ deep then place termite feed or bait or mix of them on the bottom cover with a plastic sheet and finally cover it with soil, mulch, or turf. Cardboard can be used as feed among other choices. This method is very effective because the plastic sheet can keep moisture from escaping and preserve the feed/bait. Also when termites are foraging to find food, they will be stopped by the plastic sheet and be gathered there. The layer above the plastic sheet provides good insulation to disturbance. Larger size of the station than a traditional baiting container also helps termites to find the station more quickly and more reliably.
