Don't spend hundreds or even thousands on termite monitoring stations or termite contracts. You can do the same thing with a disposable water bottle.
Please note, sometimes I do not always receive posted questions from viewers, or I do receive them, but KZfaq does not allow me to respond to them. Sometimes I do not receive a question until six months after it was posted. These glitches do not happen often, but they do happen. It is my policy to respond to all questions within 48 hours, so if you do not hear from me in a couple of days, then please email your question to me at guyspestsolutions@gmail.com. Please do try to post questions in the comment section first and only use the email address if you don't hear from me. The reason for this is that other folks may have the same question, so it would be nice for them to learn as well. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Remember... I will always get back to you.

Wouldn't you see the bite marks from the termites on the pieces of wood individually? If in fact the termites existed at all? Thanks again for taking the time to write much Aloha to you

You want a visual confirmation if possible. Other bugs eat wood too, but won't cause the problems with buildings as do termites. @@poolbritekonahawaii1265

@GuysPestSolutions 9 ай бұрын

@@rockymntain That is not correct. Only termites will eat wood underground. Carpenter ants have the ability to tunnel through wood underground, but there isn't enough wood in the stations to be of much interest to carpenter ants. These guys do not eat wood like termites do, so it's not a food source for them. Therefore, if one of the stations goes off, then it either malfunctioned because the wood slipped out of place, or there is a 99.9% chance you have termites. I hope that helps. Be well my friend.

@rockymntain 9 ай бұрын

@@GuysPestSolutions Was addressing the question of whether to leave the wood sticks out on the ground to see if any bite marks occurred as a way of determining the presence of termites. The argument is that, any insect may find the wood laying on the ground and start to consume the cellulose, usually from the side that is in contact with the ground. The more moisture present, the more appetizing to any insect. I was pointing out that, if you could not see the termites on the wood where it was chewed, just any insect damage was not a good way to go about determining that termites are doing the chewing. A quick flip of a piece of wood laying on the ground usually reveals the bugs hiding underneath doing the chewing and they will not always be termites.

I’ve been doing pest control for over 37 years. Baiting for termites has evolved to a money making scheme by the big companies, Orkin and Terminix. I don’t do baits anymore. Termidor HE is a one and done treatment for up to 15 years.

@GuysPestSolutions 5 ай бұрын

Nice to hear from an old-timer like me. I agree. This baiting thing has gotten out of hand. I do not recommend baiting as a solution for an existing termite infestation, especially if you are dealing with Formosan or Western subterranean termites. Companies are way overselling it and it ends up being very expensive for the customer. The old ways are often the best ways. Termidor HE is a great product and it saves a lot of work. However, it was only introduced in the market in 2000 and it is still just catching on. So, I am not convinced that you will get 15 years out of it. I think the jury is still out on it, because a lot of jobs were done with the last 15 years. It may be true, but I'm thinking that it will depend upon ground and climate conditions. It will most likely do better than Termidor SC though, so why not use it? Thanks for the comment. Be well my friend.

@GuysPestSolutions 10 ай бұрын

You are very welcome. Those bait stations they want to sell you are pretty much a waste of money. This is especially true if you do not have an existing infestation. You know, inspecting for termites is not all that hard to do, so you may want to do your own self inspection, just to see if the pest controller got it right. It sounds like he isn't even sure if you have termites or not. I don't know in what world it is possible that a pest controller cannot determine if you have termites or not. Anyway, it is real easy to inspect your home for termites. Just walk around the outside of the building and look for mud tubes that are coming up from the ground. Also check the eaves to see if there any mud tubes as well. If you have a crawl space, go in there and look for mud tubes that are coming up from the ground or or anywhere on the floor joists. It is also a good idea to go into the attic and check for mud tubes there as well. Please have a look at my video on how to identify termites species. That video will show you what mud tubes look like. If you live in the desert, you may also live in an area where there are drywood termites. This video will show you how to inspect for those as well. Drywood termites are not subterranean, and they will create piles of frass that are sometimes located inside of the home, in plain sight. You will often see these along the walls and they are especially common under windows. You may also find frass under your kitchen cabinets. I think it is always a good idea to do a self inspection for termites at least every year. If you install the monitoring stations, you should check them every month. While you are walking around checking them, always look for mud tubes that may be coming up from the ground on the side of the building. If you put the monitoring stations at 4 ft intervals, it is practically impossible for the termites to miss them, but the termites do not always get the memo about how they are supposed to behave. Therefore, it is always a good idea just to glance at the side of the building to make sure that the termites did not bypass the monitoring stations. I hope that helps. Be well Virginia.

You are very welcome. Thank you so much for those kind words. Very much appreciated. You have three species of termites where you live that are of concern. This would include drywood termites. These guys fly to your house, so they would not set off the monitoring stations. Therefore, I recommend doing an inspection on your home. I have a video on how to do this. You are mostly going to be looking for mud tubes and frass. The video will explain everything. Just get back to me with what you find. Ideally, you will also find activity. If you do, dig into it with a flathead screwdriver and try to obtain a specimen with a red head. Put it in a jar and let it die a natural death, and then get back to me. After we identify the species, we can come up with a treatment plan that works best for you. I hope that helps. Be well my friend.

@GuysPestSolutions Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for those kind words. Very much appreciated. The only species of termites that are known to exist in Tennessee, at least so far, are a common species of subterranean termites. The fact that your neighbor experienced a swarm of them would suggest that they are fairly close by. Therefore, you would be wise to install the monitoring stations and apply granules around your house. For the granules to work, you need to have dirt around most of the house, and that dirt needs to be porous enough so that water will leach into it. You can do a simple test to see if your dirt is porous enough by simply digging a shallow hole right next to the foundation that is 4 inches deep and about 8 to 12 inches long. Just the width of the shovel is all you need. Fill the hole with water and see how long it takes for it to seep down into the ground. If it drains down into the ground reasonably well, then the granules should work fine for you. Make sure that you buy the correct granules. There are two versions of them now. You need the ones that have imidacloprid as the active ingredient. A lot of the Home Depot and Lowes stores no longer sell the right ones, but you can still get them from Amazon. I will give you a link. I will also give you a link to my video but how to apply the granules. I hope that helps. Be well Priscilla.

I live in AZ and I just recently found out that my home has an infestation. A LARGE infestation! The hard-to-treat ones that burrow up from the ground. The back yard beams need to be replaced, because it has been so long. I saw these beams when I purchased the home and was told it was only ants that needed to be treated. Later I found they were termites. ugh... So, I will watch your videos until I find the correct treatment. Thank you. I just saw another video of yours and the termites that I have at my home ARE the ones with tubes, so I now know they are not that hard to treat. Thank you for your information!

It sounds like you may have Formosan termites. These guys are very fast eaters and can do a lot of damage very quickly. I suggest watching two videos. I have one on how to identify the species and one on how to treat Formosan termites. Please ID these guys. Let me know if you have any problems and I will assist you further. Also, let me know if these are not Formosan and I will help you with that as well. Be well my friend.

Thank you very much for this video. We live in a tropical country and termites infestation is one of our biggest problems in property maintenance. We both have dry wood termites and subterranean termites. It is costly to treat them.

@GuysPestSolutions 8 ай бұрын

It sounds like you have some experience with termites, so you know that the monitoring stations do not work for drywood termites. However, they are very good at detecting subterranean termites. I recommend that you watch my video on how to treat the exterior of a building. This will prevent drywood termites. You need to do the treatment every 60 days. I will give you the link. Keep in mind that fumigation is the only way to eliminate drywood termites and the gas they use has no residual at all, so you can get reinfested the moment the tent comes down. So, you need to start the prevention before you fumigate. I hope that helps. Be well my friend.

Brilliant DIY solution! Your goal of saving people money has been achieved many times over. Buying a home in Huntsville, AL. and will use this method to monitor termites. A razor saw or saw type blade on a standard X-acto style hobby knife is cheap and great for clean cuts on balsa wood. Wont crush the wood as it dulls. Thanks so much for such sage advice. Subscribed! and will recommend.
