Termite Bait Station - For Above Ground Indoor Use - Brand New Easy To Use

Description

Installation of Recruit IV AG
The station with Recruit IV AG consists of a housing
containing the bait matrix packet. A cover allows for
inspection of the bait station after installation. When
attached to the mounting surface, the open side of the
bait station allows termites direct access to the bait.
Breakout points in the mounting surfaces surrounding
the access window may be removed to avoid damage
to surface mud tubes or allow better contact with the
mounting surface.
Installation Procedure
1. Inspect the site to which the station with Recruit IV AG
will be attached to determine if the surface is suitable
for attachment.
2. Moisten the bait matrix before securing the station
in place. To moisten, remove and open the packet
and add sufficient water or a sugar-containing
sports performance drink to thoroughly moisten
the bait matrix. Reseal the packet and knead the
matrix contents until the wetting agent has been
fully absorbed. Once the wetting agent is absorbed,
expose the bait matrix by creating access points
for entry of termites in the packet. Reinsert the bait
matrix packet into the bait station. The side with
access points must be on the open side of the station
to ensure the bait is exposed and in contact with the
mounting surface.
3. Align the open side of the station housing with the
termite gallery openings, exit holes, drilled holes,
or mud tubes and secure the station to the surface.
(Note: When mounting the bait station to surfaces
containing surface mud tubes, a segment of each
tube within the area to be covered by access window
should be removed. This opening provides termites
with direct access to the bait. Avoid crushing surface
mud tubes when installing the bait station as this
blocks termite access to the bait. Appropriate use of
breakout points where surface mud tubes intersect
the edges of the station housing will allow secure
attachment without crushing the mud tubes.)
4. Securely attach the station housing to the structure.
Suitable attachment materials include screws, tape,
non-volatile adhesives, latex-based caulk, or other
appropriate materials. (Note: Avoid use of adhesives
or caulking materials with volatile solvents that can
temporarily repel termites.) Apply adhesive caulking
material to the surfaces of the station housing which
contact the mounting surface, but do so only after
the final mounting position has been determined and,
if necessary, breakout points have been removed.
The method of attachment should not interfere with
removing the cover to inspect the bait or add a
supplementary station.
Termites may abandon a station that allows light, air
movement, drying of the matrix, or invasion by ants or other predators. Proper attachment and sealing of
the station housing to the structure is critical.

Inspection of Recruit IV AG
To inspect Recruit IV AG, expose the bait matrix. If
termites are active in the station and the matrix appears
to be at least 1/3 to 1/2 consumed a supplemental
station should be added. If the bait matrix is degraded,
it should be removed and replace either with a new bait
matrix packet or new station.
If the entire contents of the bait station are consumed
before replenishment, termites may forage elsewhere.
When used alone as a control system, stations with
Recruit IV AG must be inspected on at least a quarterly
basis. During inspection, check bait stations for secure
attachment to the mounting surface and reinforce if
necessary.
Installation of Supplemental Stations
with Recruit IV AG
Stations with Recruit IV AG are designed to
accommodate the addition of a supplemental station
by "stacking" a new station on top of an existing one.
Stacking allows uninterrupted feeding without disturbing
the termites in the original station. Moisture may be
added to the supplemental station before installation as
described in the Installation of Recruit IV AG section of
this label.
Remove the cover from the existing station. After
moistening as noted in Step 2 above, expose bait
matrix so termites can readily access the bait in the
stacked station.
Affix the new station and cover into place on top of the
existing station.
Up to two stations (original plus 1) may be stacked at
one location. If it is necessary to continue baiting after
two stations have been stacked, remove the second
station, leaving the original station in place and add the
new station on top of it.
Inspect supplemental stations as described in the
Inspection of Recruit IV AG section of this label.
