1. Outdoor baiting points (stations) are established in the grounds around the building.

2. Each station has wooden stakes held in a holder that is buried in the ground and has openings through which termites can enter.

3. The holders have a removable cover, which can be opened for regular inspection.

4. Once a termite infestation is found in the wooden stakes, the stakes are removed and replaced with bait containing the chemical.

5. The termites that were in the station are returned. They feed on the bait together with new termites.

6. More chemical-containing bait is added regularly to replace what has been eaten.

7. Additional baits in special containers are placed indoors wherever there are termites.
