The Trelona ATBS Direct Bait Kit have both a termite bait cartridge and a wood monitoring base that need to be changed out annually regardless of the termite usage within each. The cost of these is subject to change so this will be something that you will need to check our site on when you are ready to order. You will also need to monitor these throughout the year, and change each as needed with termite activity as well.
The Trelona ATBS Direct Bait Kit has 2 internal pieces that need replacements, the termite bait cartridge and the termite monitoring base. These would need to be replaced annually regardless of termite consumption.
Trelona ATBS Direct Bait Kit can be covered with a thin layer of mulch but you would not want to place dirt over the stations as they should be easily accessed for monitoring.
If you already have termites, we would recommend using the Trelona Direct Bait Kit. All of the stations have bait in them already. The termites will take the bait back to the colony and elimate them within 90 days. You should not rely on bait stations to kill termites that are already inside the structure.
If you already have termites, we would recommend doing a trench treatment around the structure and applying Termidor SC. This will kill and prevent termites for up to 10 years. You will need to know the lineal footage around your home to know how many bottles of Termidor SC you will need.
Please check out our Termite Guide for tips and instructions on how to treat for termites.
Trelona ATBS Direct Bait Kit is larger than the Hexpro. The Trelona is comparable to the phased out Advance Termite Bait system. Unlike the Trelona, the Hexpro only uses wood monitor bases and bait cylinders if needed. The Direct Bait Kit also comes with a bait cartridge in every station instead of just a montitoring cartridge.
