I purchased the Advance Termite Bait System - Pro Kit (20 stations) 11 months ago. One of the 6 Advance Termite Bait Cartridge II has turned black. I had used it about 6 months ago for a month, removed it from the station, dried it out and put it back in its plastic bag. What caused it to turn black?
Once the Advance Termite Bait Cartridge has been placed in the bait station, you cannot remove it and store it for future use. You must dispose of the bait cartridge after removing from the station when no more activity is present. Once it is placed in the station it is exposed to moisture which would be hard to get completely out. Then placing it in a plastic bag provided the perfect environment for mold and wood rot to set in. This is why the station turned black.
