Advance Termite Bait System
By John on 11/03/2010
I purchased the Advance Termite Stations because of the online video explaining how to install and monitor the stations. I read later that the the poison effects only the younger termite population and it could take years to kill a colony. Because of this I had Orkin do a liquid treatment which is immediate and last 10 to 15 years and will continue to use the bait stations. We looked for termites and found none and unfortunately found fresh powder post beetle holes. Firewood is not worth the trouble!

Advance Termite Bait system - Easy Installation
By Jerry on 03/24/2011
I recently purchased the Pro-Kit Bait system with 15 stations. I also found a 2-1/2" auger bit which I used to drill the holes for the bait stations. The installation was easy and the folks that prepare these stations have them all ready to install. I couldn't ask for a better product. Complete instructions are easy to follow as well.

Advance Termite Bait Station -Pro Kit
By Nolan on 07/29/2011
Verified Purchase
I checked online and found several companies offering self-help termite bait staion kits. For the most part, all the companies were pretty much in the same price range. I found that "Do My Own Pest Control" was the only website that had a how-to video for installation and product info with easy to follow instructions and no confusing double talk like you get from pest control companies. My concern was how often to check the stations and how far apart they shoud be placed. Everything was answered in the video. Termites hit one station within the first 30 days and another a week later. Changing the bait cartridges was a breeze.

Advance Termite Bait System
By Bill on 10/24/2011
I had gotten a quote from a professional exterminator to install and monitor the same product for about $1500. The do-it-yourself price was $250 plus about an hour's worth of labor to install and a few minutes every quarter to check them.

Easy to install
By Doug on 12/28/2011
This system is the same as I had paid a pro service to monitor. The price of the kit was cheaper than a year of monitoring. I thought I would have had to buy an auger as another poster said, but I was able to easily install them with a borrowed post hole digger. It didn't take long to install all 15.

Easy to use.
By Val on 03/30/2012
So far so good. Borrowing a post digger from a friend made it really quick and easy to install these. I will be checking after 45 days and hopefully see no termites! This is a great, low cost alternative to hiring a contractor with a termite control maintenance plan. The contractors typically come out once a year and with a DIY system it give me more confidence since I will be checking the stations a few times a year and can quickly address issues if they arise.

The real differnce maker
By Bob on 03/30/2012
I am half way through the installation of the stations and all is going well. This was the perfect answer for us with our location near the lake. The Customer Service person that aided me over two calls in making my purchase was outstanding! The product is great, but having the support now and going forward on how to best use this system is the real difference maker for me. Thanks!

Super easy
By Dan on 04/10/2012
What a great product!!!! I can finally tell my exterminator that I will be taking care of my own pest control. Finally consumers can stop paying so much money for something they can take care of themselves. Easy instructions and I even called with a question and someone was there to help me out. I don't usually write reviews but people need to know about stuff like this.

Advance T.B.S.
By Ronald on 05/12/2012
The price for the Pro Kit (20 stations ) Beats the price from my pesticide dealers I use. I use a bulb planter drill bit to install T.B.S. at my customers locations.I think it's the best price for the best T.B.S. out there.

Excellent product. As described. Great online instructions.
By Gary on 05/24/2012
Seemed to be everything I wanted to do my own termite monitoring. I can't see how I could go wrong. Looks like I saved about $800.00 doing the install myself in about an hour. Bought a big drill bit (2 1/2 inches) and it was really a joke to install at ground level. Used a small shovel to trim the edge to where the bait station was flush to the ground. No interference with mowing the lawn. Pretty happy. Just have to watch it now...

termite bait stations
By Daniel on 06/06/2012
Very Happy
By Jeff on 06/07/2012
Installed this system (15) stations for a customer. I made indoor bait stations as there were active mud tubes in the basement, by opening a bait cannister and putting some bait in a ziploc bag and adding just enough water to make a paste, then folding the bag and stuffing it in a box I got in the electronics section at the store. I cut a slit in the bag and screwed the box to the area in the middle of the mud tube, making sure the paste was in direct contact with the wood where the mud tube was. After the first month for my first inspection, the bait indoors was completely gone and 1 station was mudded over outdoors and 80% bait consumed. I can say with certainty that the attractant works, in the outdoor station, the termites were in the bait cannister not the wood. So far, so good!

Fantastic service!! Great stations.
By Sherri on 01/15/2013
We placed a large order (over $1,000) for the termite monitoring stations (we have our own pest control company) and the order was shipped quickly and they were priced competitively. We'll be ordering them here from now on. Thank you! Plus these are the best stations out there.

Easy to use and saving $$$
By Bill on 04/03/2013
After trying the termite bait stations that the home improvement stores carry and being disappointed with their cardboard innards giving false signs of termites. I bought these. Using a bulb planter auger, I purchased from Amazon.com, on my drill, I was able to install 20 of these in less than 20 minutes. These seem to be exactly like the Sentricon system I paid a bug man much more to originally install and then maintain. We're saving about $200/yr now, verses paying the bug company. Yes, I do have to do my own checking of these, but common, how hard is that? They came with a neat tool to open the tops.

Quick/Easy Install & Use

I had the Terminex guy come out and show me a similar system for my 1,500sft house for almost $1,700. With in 45 minutes I had 10 bait stations installed around my house for only a couple hundred dollars. A posthole digger from the hardware store makes for an easy install and once they are in the ground, it would be hard for any dog to dig them up. Very tough construction, but easy to open and check with the special tool. What a savings and looking forward to them doing the job protecting my house!

Easy
By Howard on 12/15/2013
Relatively quick easy installation. I used a narrow trenching shovel and bulb planting tool to make the holes. The units fit perfectly with no backfilling required. Time will tell how effective this system is. This is far more economical then having a professional exteminator install vertually the same thing for 5 times the price.

Great system at a good price
By Mike on 05/25/2014
I had used the Sentricon system for years, installed and maintained by a local pest control company. We had built a new home and after 5 years, the original termite treatment had expired. I balked at the high cost of another Sentricon system and the ongoing maintenance costs. The Advanced Termite Bait System gives me everything from that system, at 10% of the cost.

Now I Feel Better
By Damon on 08/02/2014
Had some problems with termites, so I treated all my entire home perimeter with Dominion 2L. I then installed these bait stations and have a few recommendations for other installers. I used a 2.75" Roto Planter to drill my holes for the bait stations. The size was perfect, and it cut my install time dramatically. It only cost around $22, but it really streamlines the installation, and I would recommend it to anyone installing these bait stations. It is much easier and quicker than using a post hole digger.

Easy to install
By Burt on 10/19/2014
Arrived quickly, and the instructions were very easy to follow. Installation was easy using a auger and battery operated drill. Haven't used Doiminon 2L yet, that is next on the to do list. This is a good system and easy to install yourself, just follow the instructions.
