The formulation is intended for targeted placement near known or suspected termite activity inside approved monitoring or baiting stations. Always follow the product label and local regulations; this product is restricted from sale in certain states and is intended for use by trained professionals or according to label directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Trelona bait affect a termite colony?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrelona works when worker termites consume the compressed bait and share it within the colony through trophallaxis and grooming. Novaluron interferes with chitin synthesis so insects can’t complete molting, which results in incapacitation or death over time, and leads to colony decline with continued exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActive ingredient: novaluron, an insect growth regulator (IGR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMode of action: ingestion, grooming, and casual contact transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColony-level effect occurs as bait is distributed among nestmates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires time and continued feeding to achieve maximum suppression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere and how should I place Trelona cartridges for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall cartridges only in approved termite stations placed near points of known or suspected termite foraging. Position stations within 5 feet of active areas and avoid locations with recent termiticide treatments; maintain at least 3 feet from foundation walls treated with soil termiticides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended spacing: up to 20 feet between stations, with no more than two stations per immediate zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not place inside areas with fresh termiticide application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow label directions for insertion and routine inspection intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest used as part of an integrated monitoring and baiting program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the safety, legal, and sales limitations I should know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrelona is professional-strength bait; read and adhere to the product label for application limits and personal protective equipment.

It’s ideal where a bait-based strategy is preferred over broadcast liquid termiticides, when localized colony elimination is the objective, or when used alongside structural inspections and preventative measures. Buyers should be prepared to follow label directions, perform regular station checks, and consult licensed applicators if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can homeowners install Trelona cartridges themselves?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Homeowners can install cartridges in approved stations following label directions, but professional installation is recommended for correct placement and monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How long until termites stop being detected after baiting?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Colony reduction typically takes weeks to months; results depend on colony size, feeding rates, and consistent bait uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"BASF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56835253469524,"sku":"B07G1R9137","price":87.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/basf-trelona-front-packaging.jpg?v=1787055810","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/basf-trelona-compressed-termite-bait-6-cartridge-box-novaluron-igr-for-colony-control","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
