Installation around house with basement

Before buying the bait system, I'd like to know this would be an effective system for my situation. What would be the best practice to Installation around a house with a basement? For the liquid treatment, if there's a basement, you put more termiticide ratio than a typical slap foundation application. Since I have a basement 3 sides are below grade, is the installation instruction different from those basic 2-3 ft away from the foundation and 10 - 15ft between the bait station? or bait station system is not recommended in this situation?

Answer:

Advance Termite Bait System Kit is helpful to detect termites before they get to the home and can be used in addition to a termite trench treatment.

Termite trenching using Taurus SC is the most effective way to protect your home against Subterranean Termites. For treating around homes with basements, it is recommended to rod down at least 4 feet if footing is lower than 4 feet. You can still dig the 6 in x 6 in trench and rod every 12 inches down a couple more feet using a piece of rebarb and hammer it down into the bottom of the trench every foot or so. 

Termites do forage near the surface, just not typically within the top 3-4 inches of the soil so the 6 inch trench will take care of most all issues. We recommend spot treating if and where you see active termites by injecting a mixed gallon of solution using Taurus SC or foaming into the wall void using Termidor Foam.
