    Q
    How to take care of termites in the attic?
    After installing some of these stations in ground, it was observed that there is termite activity in attic in other end of house. Ground area under that part of attic is all concrete (driveway and sidewalk). If I place some of these stations in attic will it work, or it works when installed in ground only?
    A

    The advance termite bait station will not work above ground.  It is meant for and will only work when installed into the ground as the instructions recommend.  For treating termites in an attic space, Bora-Care is the go to product.  Bora-Care is a wood treatment product that you can …

    Q
    Can I replace the wood in the station if termites are present?
    I have seen some activity in one of my stations and can see mud tubes and termites in the station. The wood is black and molded looking. Can I/should I change this or just install the bait and leave the wood be?
    A

    If there are termites in the station and you have replaced the monitoring cartridge with the bait cartridge, you should not replace the wood yet.  The termites are not interested in the wood right now, they are most likely trying to get to the cellulose in the bait cartridge.  If you repla…

    Q
    How often do I change the Advance Termite Bait Station inspection stations?
    A

    You should clean out all of the Advance Termite Bait Stations completely and replace the wood base at least every 12 months, or once a year.  Depending on where you live and the climate and amount of rain, you may need to replace the wood base more often.  If the wood bases become very soggy and…

    Q
    The bait in my Advance Termite system from 3 months ago seems to have not been touched - Do I leave it there?
    Found activity in view cartridge three months ago. Looked in bait cartridge the other day and it looked like it had not been touched in the 3 months since. No termites to be found. Do I just leave the bait as it is or should I alter the bait or wood or move the monitor? What could have spooked off the termites? P.S. I like ordering from your company. The orders are fast and you have a great selection of products.
    A

    Thank you for your comments about our company and our fast shipping.  There are many reasons why termites may have left the station.  A natural predator, like an ant colony, could have chased them off.  A drastic weather change could have an affect on the colony, or any number of othe…

    Q
    How do I monitor the Advance Termite Bait Stations for termite activity?
    We have a pest control company that installed, I believe, the Advance Termite Bait Station system. It has a grey cylinder with a black top. We are thinking of not renewing our yearly contract of them checking the systems quarterly. First, how do I open the black top to access the unit. Second, how do I analyze what I see to know whether or not there is activity? Does the bait have to be replaced at various intervals? Also, if there is activity what do we do then?
    A

    The lid on the Advance Termite Bait Station is removed with a Spider Access Tool. Please look at pictures 12 and 13 on page 4 of the Advance Termite Bait Station Guide. These pictures illustrate what it looks like when termites have started invading the bait station. Once an infestation has been ide…

    Q
    Can I use a shovel to dig holes and install bait stations?
    I am using a professional service with bait stations. they may have priced themselves out. digging out the area for new stations with a shovel may not be the best technical style
    A

    You would not want to use a shovel when applying an Advance Termite Bait Station. To dig holes for the stations, use a 2 ¾ in. hand or electric auger or post hole digger.

    What does it mean if some old Advance Termite Bait Stations are empty?

    If the Inspection Cartridge in the Advance Termite Bait Station is empty upon inspection that means that termites have eaten the entire contents of the cartridge and it was not monitored frequently enough to catch the activity and replace with a bait cartridge to kill them off.  The stations shou…

    Q
    Do I need to backfill the hole for an Advance bait station with dirt?
    The hole I made is at most 4.5" in diameter, so it is a little larger than the bait station. Do I need to fill in dirt around the bait station?
    A

    Yes, you will back fill dirt around the sides of the stations but leave a little bit of a gap at the bottom of the station so that the bottom of it is not sitting flush on the dirt.

  • Asked by Christine from Knoxville, Tn

    Q
    Do the monitoring stations contain pesticides?
    I would like to monitor my house for termite activity but only treat with pesticides if there is actually a problem. I have two concerns: 1. We want to attract beneficial fauna like bees and frogs to the yard and these are very sensitive to chemicals. 2. We have edible plants around the house and I don't want these chemicals to get in our food. Of course if we had termites, the chemicals are better than termites, but as treatment for a potentially non-existent problem it seems a little harsh.
    A

    The monitoring stations only contact wood and a cellulose cartridge. The pesticides are only put into the stations if you find activity.

    Q
    I want to do my own termite control but only if I will save money.
    I now pay $30 a month for 6 Advance monitors, checked quarterly, and free service if termites are found. I see on your website the monitors for $17.95, a "spider" for $25, gloves for $12.95, 5 (not 6) inspection cartridges for $19.50, and 6 bait cartridges for $96.94. Would I need anything else? If the bait cartridges last just 6 months, I would LOSE MONEY by doing the work myself. Is this correct? Please comment.
    A

    The Advance Termite bait stations should be replaced every year. If you already have the grey station, the only things you will need to buy would be the Advance Termite Monitoring Bases, which come in a pack of 5 and Advance Termite Inspection Cartridges (packs of 5 as well).

    Q
    Slugs in bait stations
    installed new stations in april of last year. at 3 month inspection slugs had invaded all of the bait stations(not the cartidges. since these were new stations i don't understand the not properly maintained explanation from the same question answered on 5.6.13. I just checked station 1/21/15. Most now are free of slugs (winter). Do slugs mess up the monitoring. Should i do something the next time I check them? or surround the stations with diatomaceous earth or some other method of control
    A

    We do not recommend to apply an insecticide around the bait stations. Slugs can normally enter under the soil cover. If the bait stations are not maintained an over abundance of slugs can enter. We recommend to clean out the station and rectify the gap under the soil cover.

Once the cap is off, you…

    Q
    How close is too close for placing the Advance Termite Bait Stations?
    We hired a company to treat active subterranean termites found under the siding of our house. They installed what appears to be Advance Termite Bait Stations every 4 feet along the foundation. It has been a full year and they are still reporting activity in the stations. We are considering cancelling our contract with the company and taking this on for ourselves using the same system and following your guidelines. Should we remove some of the bait stations so they are spaced farther apart?
    A

    Termite bait stations such as the Advance Termite Bait Stations technically could be installed as close together as you would like. However, standard application is about every 10-12 feet, and 4-6 feet from the foundation outside the dripline of the roof.
    Since bait stations are considered preventi
