Description

Description

Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection and Killing Stakes Refill is a product designed to detect and kill termites in and around homes. The product comes in the form of stakes that are inserted into the ground around the perimeter of a home or other building. The stakes contain an active ingredient that is lethal to termites and can help prevent termite damage and infestations.

The product works by attracting termites to the stakes using a bait that contains a small amount of wood, which is a food source for termites. When termites feed on the bait, they ingest the active ingredient, which is a slow-acting insecticide that interferes with the termites’ nervous system and ultimately kills them.

The stakes are designed to be easy to install and come with a pop-up indicator that signals when termites are present. If the indicator pops up, it’s an indication that termites have been detected, and the stakes should be replaced with new ones. This can help homeowners monitor for termite activity and take action before significant damage occurs.
