Termite baits consist of cellulose matrix, termites feed off cellulose often found in wood and plant matter. The termite bait is also laced with a slow-acting insecticide which disrupts the termites growth cycle. The termite bait must be tasty enough to compete with the presence of competing structural wood, tree roots and woodpiles.

The first step is to locate the termite colony and place termite bait in locations termites can reach and feast on the termite bait. The slow acting agent within the termite bait gives termites an opportunity to get back to the nest and trans-locate it throughout the colony. The fellow termites feast on the termite bait and the eradication of termite nest and colony begins.
