Description
Description
Spectracide Terminate Stakes 15ct is a termite detection and killing system designed to protect homes and other structures from termite damage. The stakes are inserted into the ground around the perimeter of the structure, and the detection system allows for early identification of termite activity.
Each stake contains an active ingredient called hexaflumuron, which is a slow-acting insect growth regulator. When termites feed on the bait, they ingest the active ingredient, which disrupts their ability to molt and grow. This eventually leads to the elimination of the termite colony.
The stakes are easy to install and require no digging or drilling. The termite detection system features pop-up indicators that signal termite activity, alerting homeowners to the need for treatment. The stakes are designed to be replaced every 12 months to maintain continuous termite protection.
