Which of the following is NOT a method of non-chemical termite control?

Explanation:

Fumigation

• Fumigation is a chemical method of termite control.
• It involves the use of toxic gases or chemicals, such as sulfuryl fluoride (commonly known as Vikane), to eliminate termite infestations.
• Fumigation is not a non-chemical method and instead relies on the application of chemicals to kill termites within a structure.

 Additional InformationBaiting

• Baiting is a method of termite control that involves placing bait stations in the ground around a structure.
• These bait stations contain materials that are attractive to termites and may include substances that inhibit termite growth or kill them.
• When termites feed on the bait, they carry it back to their colony, effectively reducing the termite population over time.
• Baiting is a non-chemical method because it typically doesn't involve the use of toxic chemicals or pesticides.

Trapping

• Trapping is another non-chemical method of termite control.
• Termite traps are devices placed in the ground to intercept and capture termites as they forage for food.
• Traps are designed to physically block the termites' path and capture them when they come into contact with the trap.
• This method does not rely on chemical treatments to control termites.

Heat treatment

• Heat treatment, also known as thermal remediation, is a non-chemical method of termite control that involves raising the temperature of the infested area to lethal levels for termites.
• This process typically requires specialized equipment that heats the affected area to a temperature that kills termites without using chemical pesticides.
