    Q
    Where to locate stations in walkway around a garage?

    Q
    Will Advance Termite Bait System Kit affect well water?
    Will this system affect well water ? How far from a well should bait stations be placed? I have just gotten a quote from a professional company and they said their bait stations are safe for wells, but that they can not use the liquid because it will contaminate the well.
    A

    Yes, the Advance Termite Bait Systems are safe to use on a property with a well. Many liquids are as well depending on how far your well is from the home and unless its closer than 5 -10 feet from the home to require a station be placed instead, most liquids can still be used just with special application techniques per the label.

    Q
    Would you say the wood in the stations in the Advance Termite Bait System Kit is necessary to use or is just to fill in the space?
    A

    The wood in the stations in the Advance Termite Bait System Kit is necessary as the termites find it appetizing which will help with monitoring activity.

  • Asked by Won from Sugar Hill, Ga

    Q
    Can the stations in the Advance Termite Bait System Kit be saved for future use?
    My house may need about 15 stations. If I purchase 20 stations, 5 stations will remain. Can I save it on the shelf for future use? Will there be the case to replace the station?
    A

    The stations in the Advance Termite Bait System Kit include an inspection cartridge and monitoring base that can be stored in a dry, cool place if they are not being used. The inspection cartridge does not contain an active ingredient so you can store the remaining stations for up to 5 years or more.

  • Asked by Calvin from Tucson Az
    02/07/2025
    Q
    Can I install the Advance Termite Bait System Kit where Terminex stations were previously installed?
    A

    Yes, the Advance Termite Bait System Kit can be placed in the same holes just be sure the holes are clear of debris and are large enough for the traps to fit. I always recommend starting with the monitoring cartridges to be sure there is activity before putting in the active bait so that you don't waste it as they only last 90 days once installed.

  • Asked by Collin
    10/03/2022
    Q
    Can I install the Advance Termite Bait System Kit outside the wood porch that extend up to 6ft out from my house if I am not able to get closer to the foundation of the home?
    A

    Yes, the Advance Termite Bait System Kit are labeled to be used around obstacles when needed. If termite activity closer to the home is a concern, we would suggest trenching around the posts of the porch using Taurus SC to protect the wood and access to the home if possible. 

    Measure around the posts to get the total footage. Dig a 6in x 6in treanch around the posts and pour the mixed solution into the trench around the posts. Mix rate is 3.2 fl oz Taurus SC with 4 gallons of water for every 10 linear feet, this comes out to about 0.5 gallons of mixed solutione every 1 linear foot (12 inches)

    Q
    Is the Advance Termite Bait System Kit compatible with the Sentricon Termite Bait System?
    A

    Advance Termite Bait Stations will not fit the Sentricon System. Unfortunately, Sentricon is only sold directly to pest control professionals. They do not sell the bait to suppliers or to homeowners.

    Q
    If I know thst I have termite infestation in a specific location should I introduce the bait cartridge
    upon installation instead on the wood test sticks?

    If termite activity is present, replace the Termite Inspection Cartridge with a Trelona Termite Bait Cartridge in the Advance Termite Bait System Kit. (Be sure to remove the plastic wrapper from the TBC before placing it inside the station.)

  • Asked by Tim from Biloxi Ms
    07/13/2023
    Q
    Distance of 2-4 ft from the foundation?
    I installed 20 stations thinking that 30 inches would be the distance from the foundation (outside of drip line). But now I wonder if that is too close. Should I have gone further out??
    A

    That should be fine as long as they are out of the drip line. It is recommended that the Advance Termite Bait Stations be placed 2-4 feet away from the foundation being sure to keep out of the drip line of the roof.

    Q
    What do you do if the Advance Termite Bait station is infested with ants?
    Can you do something to get rid of them and salvage them?
    A

    It is not abnormal to see ants around the Advance Termite Bait System Kit. You can sprinkle a bait like the InTice 10 Perimeter Bait around the stations or Maxforce Complete Granular Bait to help with them

    Q
    Can the bait stations be placed inside the crawlspace?
    My house is built on brick pliers with a skirting around it. Can the stations be placed in the crawlspace? In order words, can I remove my skirting place the station in the crawlspace, and reinstall the skirting?
    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
    What if I already have termites?
    What if I already have termites in the house do I still use this or something else?
    A

    If you actively have termites the Advance Termite Bait System Kit will not work, as they will not leave their active food source (your home) to go to the stations. You will need to trench your home to get rid of them. Below is our video on how to do a termite trench:

  • Asked by Libbie from Louisiana

    Q
    Water in the hole I dug.
    I bought the 20-station kit and installed most of them. It was raining yesterday. The holes I dug on the part of one side of the house filled with water like 3-4 inches below the ground. Today the water in the hole is still 4 inches below the ground. Is it ok to put in the station, or any suggestions? This low area is not avoided. Also, the instruction says to use a post-digger which I have bought. A narrow hand shovel from Dollar Tree $1.25 works perfectly for me. Sharing with people.
    A

    If you mean can the Advance Termite Bait System Kit 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

    Q
    I installed a TBC 3 months ago after seeing termites during a routine inspection.
    Todays inspection did not see any termites. Do I replace it with a new TBC? Or do I need to buy a monitoring cartridge?
    A

    Advance Termite Bait System Kit should be checked every 90 days, if no activity is found the inspection cartridge & wood may remain there until the one year mark. Once the year mark comes around, if still no activity, it is best to replace them then.

    Q
    County says house can't be 50' of well because of ground termite treatment. Does this apply to bait stations or can they still be used?
    My well is 435' deep. I'm sure this rule was made for shallow wells. I need specific literature to show my health department so I can build closer to the well.
    A

    Yes, the Advance Termite Bait Systems are safe to use on a property with a well. Many liquids are as well depending on how far your well is from the home and unless it's closer than 5 -10 feet from the home to require a station to be placed instead, most liquids can still be used just with special application techniques per the label. 

    As for specific literature that states it can be used near the well you will need to reach out to the manufacturer: https://www.basf.com/us/en/legal/contact.html

  • Asked by Clint from Pensacola

    Q
    What about wet areas that have surface flooding in heavy rain?
    When we get heavy rain the ground next to one side of my house can be saturated and some standing water for an hour or 2.
    A

    If you mean can the Advance Termite Bait System Kit be in standing water (heavy rains for an hour or 2), 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. Depending on where you live the climate and the amount of rain, you may need to replace the wood base more often.  If the wood bases become very soggy and moldy then you should replace them. You also need at least a couple of inches under the station so that water doesn’t sit in the station as much, so be sure to dig a little extra.
