Hello, I used an auger attachment for my drill to place these bait stations around my home. I went fairly deep to ensure water would have somewhere to go beneath the station. I checked the stations last week and lots of them had water standing water in the bottom. Is this a problem? If so, what do you recommend as a solution? I am located in Louisiana so we get extreme heat, humidity, and rain in the summer. Should I try digging deeper?
It seems like the soil around the station probably is waterlogged to an extent and as the soil dries out so will the station. However, the wood inside can get moldy and would probably need to be replaced. If the Advance Termite Bait Station 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
Please make sure you have left atleast a 1 inch gap between the bottom of the station and soil.
