    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.

    Q
    Do you use the same bait system as Terminix?
    I have an existing system/plan with Terminix but was thinking of cancelling my service, but I don't want to have to have to replace everything. I'm not sure if they will take out the bait stations when I cancel.
    A
    Many professional companies use different baiting systems and many will remove the stations upon cancellation of service. We are unsure which system you currently have. We carry the Advance Termite Bait System. The wood base, inspection cartridge, bait cartridge and tool only fit this specific system. Please contact us if you need additional information. We are always happy to help!

    Q
    How long is the Advance Termite Bait good for?
    If I dont need to use the bait, will it expire?

    The shelf life that the bait has been tested to is 5 years on the shelf in a room temperature environment stored out of direct sunlight. The bait could be good longer than this if unopened and unused but 5 years is all that has been tested.

  • Asked by Nick from New Orleans, La
    05/15/2013
    Q
    My house is built on top of brick piers about two feet off the ground. Would I need to bait under the house?
    Under the house is crawl space with nothing between the ground and the floor joists. Located in New Orleans where termites are a serious concern.
    A

    We would not recommend using the termite bait stations due to the fact that you have a crawlspace and are on piers. To make sure you prevent termites you want to use a liquid Termiticide like Termidor. Please review our article Barrier and Soil Treatment.

    Foundational walls and piers can be treated with a termiticide (Termidor SC) at the soil level:

    • Dig a trench in the soil adjacent to the structure, 6 inches deep by 6 inches wide.
    • Soak the soil on both sides of the foundation walls at the rate indicated on the product label. Using a 5 gallon bucket is easier than a sprayer for this task.
    • Loosen the soil on the bottom of the trench with a spade for additional penetration.
    • Replace the soil in the trench, being careful to mix each shovelful with the diluted termiticide.

    Q
    My Advance Termite Bait Stations are filled with slugs and ants..
    The stations seem to be over run with slugs and some with ants. The wood bait seems to be moist also. Has the system been compromised?
    A
    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.

  • Asked by Ron from Greenville, Sc
    04/03/2013
    Q
    What is the annual operating cost for a 15 stations of Advance Termite Bait System?
    Are there any additional start-up costs associated for 15 holders and bait station system? What is needed to be replaced annually and what would be the current annual cost if you had termite activity in 8 of the 15 bait stations.
    A
    Every 12-24 months you will need to replace the wood base (TMB) which at the current market price will be $43.50 for all 15 stations and the Termite Inspection Cartridge (TIC) which at the current market price is $58.90 for a bag of 25. When activity is found and you must use the Termite Bait Cartridge (TBC) you can purchase the bait in a box of 6 baits for $95.76 at the current market price.

  • Asked by Tim from Sacramento, Ca.
    03/31/2012
    Q
    If I had found termites in my back yard, away from my house, will the baiting system work?
    If I were to plant one of these guys right on top of where I found their nest two years ago, would that be the best way to go about killing the colony? (I would also be installing these at 12' intervals around the house)
    A
    There is no way to know for sure if that same colony would find the station.  However, any wood that is left in the ground will eventually most likely have termites in it....so eventually a termite colony would find it.  There are always termites around in the ground, but our main concern is protecting your home which is why installing the baiting system around your home should be your first goal.

  • Asked by Bill from Mansfield, Ma
    11/08/2011
    Q
    How does Advance compare with the Sentricon system?
    Which one is more effective? Which one has been on the market longer? Is there any research confirming Advance's effectiveness?
    A
    The Advance Termite Bait System has been on the market for many years though we do not know how long exactly. The Advance System is probably more widely used than the Sentricon system and is comparable to the Sentricon System. You can definitely research the Advance Bait system's efficacy just by searching it online or going directly to the manufacturers website. You can find more information on the product by searching the active ingredient Diflubenzuron on the internet. You can also find a lot of information by reading the Installation guide, Product Label and Supplemental Label.

  • Asked by Tim from Greer
    11/03/2011
    Q
    How far apart should the termite baiting stations be placed around the house?
    Or to put it another way, how do I know how many units I need to order?
    A
    For best results, the termite bait stations should be placed 10 feet apart around the house.  The instructions say they can be placed as far as 20 feet apart, but most termite companies place them 10 feet apart which is the recommended distance in the pest control industry.

  • Asked by David from Phoenix, Az
    10/02/2011
    Q
    Advance termite bait system and flood irrigation?
    I'm leaning towards purchasing Advance Termite Bait System, but I get flood irrigation twice a month 10 months out of the year. I was wondering if you know if this product can work with flood irrigation?
    A
    If you mean can the system be in standing water, the answer is yes.  It will not harm the plastic station.  However, the wood inside can get moldy and would probably need to be replaced. If the stations are full of water or the wood has too much mold on it, termites will not want to enter the stations.  Typically the wood needs to be replaced at least once a year, but in your case you may need to do it twice a year.
