Termites are often called the “silent destroyer” because they may be secretly hiding and thriving in your home or yard without any immediate signs of damage. All termites consume cellulose-based plant materials. Unfortunately, all homes, regardless of their construction type, can provide cellulose food for termite infestation.
Termites are detritivores, or detritus feeders. They feed on dead plants and trees as well as dead parts of living trees, including wood and wood in the soil. A termite’s mouth is capable of tearing pieces of woody material. This ability is what causes concern in human dwellings: while termite workers only measure approximately 1 cm to a few millimeters in length, their feeding habits are capable of causing costly damage to property. House foundations, furniture, shelves and even books are all possible feeding sites for termites.

- Termidor liquid treatments
- Advance termite bait system
Advance® Termite Bait System
Expect More Efficacy. Expect More Customer Satisfaction.
The industry’s first generation bait systems brought a pioneering concept to the termite control market. They presented a new way to control termite colonies that was more effective and less invasive combined with a business model that significantly raised the value of termite control at the homeowner level. However, it soon became apparent that those first generation bait systems had a variety of challenges. These challenges affected their speed of control, ease of serviceability, customer satisfaction and most importantly created a non-invasive business model for most PMPs.
Now, with the Advance Termite Bait System, BASF offers a new generation bait system that addresses the challenges presented by first generation baits–effectively making our bait system a superior option to other of termite bait systems.
Now there are no more excuses. While previous bait systems had challenges that resulted in slow or poor performance, PMPs across the country are experiencing hits as quickly as 15-45 days and fast colony elimination with the Advance Termite Bait System. So you can now combine the efficacy of newer non-repellant liquids with the customer satisfaction and selling advantages of a bait system. It’s truly the best of both worlds.
