Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection & Killing Stakes, 15-Count, 6-Pack

Everyone needs to protect their house from termites. These are excellent do-it-yourself bait stations. They work. I have replaced the eaten traps. Replace once or twice a year because other termite colonies will not follow another colony's pheromone trail into a trap. Map out their locations.

Easy to install and great value. Hopefully I never have to see them in action but glad they are there for protection. Termite company quoted me $1600 for the same type of product so thankful for these!

Well, I haven't run into any termites yet but several of these stakes “false triggered” due to clogged gutters overflowing and saturating the inner core. Ants and an earthworm triggered another. My neighbor two house down had a woodpile next to their garage and their garage got eaten by the critters. These are good insurance against termites fleeing from an infested house nearby.How to prevent termites? Have your house inspected by a reputable termite company (cost: less that $85.00). Do you have a channel where dirt has sunk in next to your foundation? Order a dump truck load of regular dirt (not dirt/sawdust mix) and make sure water drains away from your house (go out during your next rainstorm and take note of areas that flood. Downspouts should have at least 4 foot extension pipes that drain away from the house. Gutters clogged? Clean all the mud and sand out or these and make sure downspouts are clear. Termites need a moist environment. Nests can be 20 or 30 feet away from your house. Locate woodpiles at the far end of your property line and try to keep wood from making contact with the ground. If you have a concrete slab or a steel wood rack - great!I hate the idea of squirting termite poison in the ground. Common sense solutions and these termite stakes will guarantee you will stay termite free. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. REMEMBER: The best time to find places where water pools near your house is during a gully washer rainstorm. Keep wooden fence posts, wood piles, tree stumps, mulch away from your foundation. Watch out for carpenter ants too! They are usually the big black ants that do as much damage as termites. If you have very old, decaying trees that have low-lieing limbs over your roof, you will probably get carpenter ant damage to your roof - or any area that traps moisture or has a roof leak. If these critters are around the perimeter of your house, they’re not making a social call. Cut overhanging limbs, remove dead or decaying trees. Common sense. . . You can do it (for free).

We have a house plus other out buildings that all have wooden entryways. We bought 2 boxes of these little wonders, based on not the perimeter measurements, but about 10' more on each side. The screw that comes with the install kit worked well in all the different soil types around our property (sandy to clay)! With all the rain we've had (flooding), the units still seem to be working to bait the termites. In pulling to check them, several are chewed but also cloudy from being very wet. Several of them have "popped" during the first month. They seem to all be working to attract termites and take the bait back home. Dead wood all around may keep us buying these for some time. However, compared to the cost of a professional company installing very similar bait stations and coming out to check on them each month, these are a great deal! No issue with the dog digging them up (after his initial interest). Mud covering them doesn't seem to decrease their effectiveness. Suggestion: if you are having termite issues, buy more than you need for the initial install. We will be putting in about 6 new stations in the first month, and buying a new supply to be ready for replacing others showing great activity in month two!

perfect fit and easy to put on and take off. Holds up well in our constant crazy gusty winds.500% got the job done in 1 night !!!!I’m actually impressed, I applied into my backyard pergola at night next morning I realized that they went down I never bought something that gave me this kind of quick issue resolution recommended 500% not 100 , 500% don’t complain about the price item works!!!

I guess they work. Very easy to install. They do sit a little higher off the ground than what the pros use. I already took 1 out with the mower.

I truly trust this brand I love it and it works incredibly so I would highly recommend this to anyone a it controls these termites and it is totally amazing product

This is my second box of these. I use them around a mower shed in Louisiana where termites are a real issue. Very visible when the bugs eat the poison and it's easy to put another in the same hole or use the included drill to make a new hole. I'll keep buying them.
