What is the primary purpose of a termite bait system?

The primary purpose of a termite bait system is to lure and eliminate termite colonies. This method involves strategically placing bait stations around a property where termites are likely to be present. The bait contains substances that are attractive to termites, drawing them to the stations. Once termites consume the bait, it disrupts their ability to grow and reproduce, ultimately leading to the collapse of their colony.

Additionally, termite bait systems are advantageous because they work over time to reduce termite populations in a controlled manner and can monitor activity around the property. This focus on both attraction and elimination makes this method particularly effective in long-term termite management.

In contrast, other choices try to suggest unrelated functions such as decoration, tracking, or strengthening structural integrity, which do not align with the core function of the bait system in termite control strategies.
