FMC FIRSTLINE® TERMITE DEFENSE SYSTEMSM
Real World Termite Baiting Results in Florida
A Comparison of FirstLine® Termite Defense SystemSM and Sentricon System
- A pest management company compared the FirstLine® Termite Defense SystemSM to the Sentricon* System after both systems were in place for 10 months (different years).
- FirstLine® and Sentricon achieved the same level of control over the same time period.
- All properties were partially treated with liquid termiticides.
- Each system was installed according to recommended practices and
monitored monthly, then replaced with bait when monitors had termite
activity.
- FirstLine® provides the same level of control as Sentricon.
- Termite populations are quite different and any one structure can
reach control with baiting in much shorter or longer periods (3-8
months once baiting started).
- Termite populations already infesting a structure (remedial) find
monitors faster than populations not infesting a structure
(preventative).
- Once termites have fed on monitors, preventative situations are controlled faster than curative.
