Why are termite treatments so crucial for Northwest Oklahoma residents?
Termites love feeding on most people’s biggest investment: their home. In the U.S. alone, termites cause more than $5 billion worth of damage every year. Despite this, termite damage is not covered by most homeowners insurance policies.
Since termites are found nationwide, there’s a constant risk of termite infestation. So trust in the Trelona® ATBS® Advance® Termite Bait System, an advanced baiting technology, to protect the well-being of your home.
Warning signs of infestation
The best way to determine if termites are in your home
is with a thorough inspection from a pest management professional. Unfortunately, termites don’t always leave apparent warning signs, but here are a few to be aware of:
-
Visible termite swarms during the day orearly evening, often after rainfall
-
Termites or termite wings on window sills or along walls
-
Shelter tubes or mud tubes appearing around the foundation
-
Baseboards and floors that sound hollow or sag
-
Evidence of termite damage to wood in or around windows and doorframes
Did you know?
-
Termites on earth outweigh humans on earth.
-
Termites work 24 hours a day; they do not sleep.
-
A mature colony of Formosan termites can number in the millions and eat 13 ounces of wood per day. (2017. Termidor Home)
-
In residential areas where termite pressure is high, research showed an average of 25 colonies per acre, with a maximum of 75 colonies per acre.*
-
When one termite colony is eliminated from an area, another colony often moves in to fill the vacated niche.**

How does Trelona® ATBS® work?
After bait stations are found by termites, they work to provide ongoing structural protection through termite colony elimination.
Installation: Termite baiting stations are strategically installed around the perimeter of your home, often in landscape beds
to 3-inch diameter by 1-foot deep cavities into the ground, and these cavities are placed approximately 10 to 20 feet apart.
Once these cavities are created, the stations are placed within the cavities—working throughout the year to protect your home. Your pest management professional will then come to your home once per year to inspect the stations and provide service.
Colony elimination
While tunneling in search of a food source, termites find a Trelona ATBS bait station, feed, then leave a pheromone trail behind them as they travel back to the colony. Upon returning to the colony, they share the bait with others and recruit more termites to follow the pheromone trail back to the source.
What they don’t realize is the bait contains Novaluron—an active ingredient that prevents the termites’ vital process of molting. Over time, more and more termites will have fed upon the bait and start to die, beginning the process of colony elimination.
What makes Trelona® ATBS® a trusted choice in baiting systems?
The superior design of Trelona ATBS leads to proven performance while maintaining a low profile.
What customers are saying:
“I have so much confidence in Trelona ATBS that I have it around three of my properties. I wouldn’t want to use anything else.” – Alexis L., McDonough, Georgia
How Trelona® ATBS® stacks up to the leading competitor
The process of colony elimination can’t begin until a baiting station is discovered, and termites are proven to find Trelona ATBS stations faster.
Choose the system termites find faster
In one university study, it took termites only 8 days to find the Trelona ATBS stations*, while it took termites over 30 days to find the leading competitor’s stations*.
Trelona ATBS stations and the competitor’s stations were placed within
0.5 meters of an active termite colony. The study had 20 replicates and
stations were checked daily over 46 days producing the results above.
