    Q
    What is in the bottle shown with the advanced system?
    A
    The bottle shown in the Advanced Termite Bait System Kit (20 Stations) is Dominion 2L. Dominion 2L is a liquid termiticide used for termite barrier treatments around the structure of a building or home. Use 0.6 fl. oz./gal. of water – Using 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 lineal feet in a 6 in. x 6 in. trench directly against the structure’s foundation. Dominion 2L will provide a 7 year barrier protection against termites when used as a soil treatment against the structure.

    Q
    Question about using Premise 75 next to foundation for termite control.
    One of the existing posted answers says
    A
    Termidor SC, Premise or Dominion 2L are all considered non-repellents and would be fine to apply as a trench and treat against the foundation if bait stations are present.  Dominion 2L is a Premise generic and one bottle of Dominion 2L makes twice as much finished solution as a bottle of Premise for half the price.  Your Advance Termite Bait Stations typically want to be 2-4 feet away from the foundation, but not under the drip line of the roof.

    Q
    What are the measurements of the Advance Termite Bait Stations?
    I have cored 3" holes in the concrete around my house. Each hole is 19' apart under the drip line of my roof. Will these stations fit into the 3" holes? Or will I have to "modify" them to make them fit?
    A

    The Advance Termite Bait Station is a little over 7 inches tall and 5.90 wide. Stations are placed 10-15 feet apart, 2-4 feet away from the foundation around the structure to be treated to monitor subterranean termite activity, but not directly under the drip line from the roof of the structure. To dig holes for the stations, use a 2 ¾ in. hand or electric auger or post hole digger. The cavity for each station should extend 2 to 4 in. below the station's housing to allow excess moisture to drain.

    Q
    After baiting the Advance Termite Bait System, what's the next step(s)
    I have a dozen or so stations that have been baited for 4 months. What happens next ? Start over with wood ?
    A

    After baiting for the Advance Termite Bait System Kit you want to monitor every 90 days to see if termite activity has stopped. Once the activity has stopped then you can replace the wood base and insepction cartridge every 12 months.

  • Asked by Tommy from California, Md
    04/22/2016
    Q
    What is the difference between Advance Termite Bait System Kit and the Trelona one?
    Also, are the bait/monitoring cartridges interchangeable?
    A

    The main difference is that the Trelona is a direct baiting system, which means it does not have the monitoring inspection cartridge in it at all, it always has the bait cartridge.  While the stations themselves are relatively the same and you could use the Advance in the Trelona, the Advance Termite stations have been discontinued and will no longer be available once stock runs out.

    Q
    Attractant
    With the application of the baits station around a residential house/building, do you need to have also an attractant so termite go to bait stations?
    A
    No, the wood is the attractant and food source for the termites in the Advance Termite Bait Station Kit. The inspection cartridge at the top of the bait station lets you know if you have termites. Please let us know if you have any addutional questions.

  • Asked by Pat from Houston, Tx
    08/05/2019
    Q
    Which auger should I use to set up the Advance Termite Bait System?
    Which of your auger bits will work for these bait stations? The instructions say to use a 2.5” diameter auger, but does not specify a length. It looks like you carry 3” diameter augers of multiple lengths, but I don't see any 2.5” diameter ones.
    A

    The Advance Termite Bait System Kit stations are approximately 7 inches in length and we recommend to leave 2-4 inches more below the stations housing to allow excess moisture to drain. With this in mind, you can use something like the Power Planter DIY Guru Auger (3 in x 12 in) – 312.

  • Asked by Danielle from Tucson,
    09/17/2015
    Q
    How do you place the bait stations in areas with tile floors or concrete?
    Termites sometimes come thru cracks.
    A

    The Advance Termite Bait Station should be placed 2-4 feet away from the foundation, but not directly under the drip line from the roof of the structure. If there is tile or concrete in this area we recommend using a core drill as it should only take a few minutes per hole and also leaves a perfectly smooth, round hole and will also go through rebar as well.

  • Asked by M from New Orleans, La
    05/31/2017
    Q
    Will the Advance Termite Bait System Kit work for Formosan termites?
    I think we have both subterranean and Formosan termites. These baits indicate they are good for subterranean, but will they also kill Formosan colonies? Thanks.
    A

    The Advance Termite Bait System Kit would not be a good option to treat for Formosan termites.  It is important to treat Formosan termites using a soil application around the structure (trenching and drilling and using liquid termiticide) and wood applications using a wood treatment such as Bora-Care. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Formosan Termites for more information on a successful program.

  • Asked by Steve from Bethel

    Q
    I purchased Taurus SC and 15 bait stations. Can I use both at the same time, or is there a procedure for which is used first?
    A

    Yes, the Advance Termite Bait System Kit and Taurus SC would be used around the same time as they are used in different areas and provide different forms of prevention.  We have a guide here that explains how to use them together.  If you have an active infestation of termites you will need to locate and spot treat that directly and this can be done with Taurus as well.  We have a guide here that can help with that.

    Q
    Does the Advance Termite Bait System Kit only kill foraging termites or is this taken back to colony and kill colony residents?
    Many like spectracide only kill foraging termites and they do not take it back to colony. I'm looking for something like terro used for ants which is taken back to colony.
    A

    The bait in the Advance Termite Bait System Kit is taken back to the colony by foraging termites and shared with the rest of the colony.

    Q
    I have 3" stone 4" deep 6' out from foundation what do I do put it under the stone for Termites?
    A

    It may be best in the situatution to use a product like Termidor. If the stones cannot be moved so you can trench, you would want to try and drill. Be sure to review our Termite Guide for the best tips on Termite control.

    Q
    I have a residence with a crawlspace. Should I use Taurus SC or the Advance Termite Bait System in the crawlspace?
    A

    For treating in a crawl space you will need to use Taurus SC.  You can’t apply the Advance Termite System under the house.  It is labeled for outside perimeter use only.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used in conjunction with the Advance Termite Bait System Kit?
    I recently bought Talstar P to spray my lawn and up the side of the house around the perimeter (as instructed)
    A

    Advance Termite Bait Stations should be placed 2-4 feet away from the foundation and spaced 10-15 feet away from each other. If there are termites that make it past the bait staions, the barrier made with the Talstar will kill them once they come in contact with the product.

  • Asked by Jim
    03/28/2020
    Q
    Is it ok to move stations and add new stations with baits after finding activities?
    I found activities in two monitoring stations today, one completely eaten, the other half gone. I replaced them with baits and moved one of them closer to where I think the termites are, and also added a new station with bait directly. Is this ok to do, or did I disrupt termites in this way? Also, when are termites most active, in spring?
    A
    You should not move a bait station after termite activity has been disturbed. This will disrupt the termites and will stop them from feeding and can stop them from returning to the colony. Termites are active year-round but you will see the most activity during the rainy season.
