Termite baiting systems are best used to monitor termite activity prior to having an infestation in your home, but they still may be used as part of a plan to eradicate an infestation as well. We do not recommend relying on termite bait station alone to elimated termites which are already inside the home. If you are looking for a more direct application for eradication we would suggest doing a trench treatment. You can find all the details for this treatment found in our Termite Guide.

Trelona cartridges were designed specifically for the Advance/Trelona Bait Stations. We do not carry the Termatrol stations and from a quick search it looks like that brand was discontinued in 2003 or 2004, so we would not be able to tell you if these would fit those stations if you still have some. Unfortunately, we are unsure of the size of the Termatrol units to know if these cartridges would work within them.
