The Advance Termite Bait System Kit is being replaced by the Trelona ATBS. The components of either kit will fit both systems.
The Trelona ATBS Home Montoring Kit is effective for subterranean termites. We advise NOT to pour the Taurus SC on top of the bait stations for treatment as Taurus SC is best recommened to be applied around the structure by trenching every10 linear feet with 4 gallons of the mixed solution to give you a residual control for up to 10 years. If the tree has been damaged by termites it would be advisable to remove the tree and perform a liquid termite soil treatment with Taurus SC to ensure subterranean termites to not find a food source inside of your home.
The Trelona ATBS Direct Bait System is a newer system that comes with a bait cartridge in each station. Baits will last for up to 90 days if termites are actively feeding on them, but they should be replaced when the bait cartridge is 3/4 empty or after one year, whichever is sooner. In this system, you are only using the wood monitoring base and the bait cartridge in each station. You could choose to use the Inspection Cartridges later if no activity is observed on any of the bait cartridges.
The Trelona ATBS Home Monitoring Stations should be used 2-4 feet away from the structure and at least 10-15 feet apart. This should not affect the grass around your home and should not be placed in areas where it will come in contact with direct irrigation.
