Vienen bastantes estacas y para hacer el agujero

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!

Product was shipped quick and smoothly while packaged perfectly. I purchased this product to assist with the detection and destruction of subterranean termites. I can say, we haven't had any issues with termites to include no activity around the stakes. The stakes are easy to install which includes either a hand auger bit or a auger bit that easily attaches to a drill. Product instructions state to place stakes 2 to 3 feet away from your home and 10 feet apart. We have placed these 6 to 8 feet apart and roughly 2 feet away from the home for added protection. They are also swapped out every 4 months or when one pops up. Which is typical in wet environments as the cardboard seems to degrade along with worms that seems to love these. I'd suggest keeping a few extra on hand.

DIY! Been using these stakes around house in florida past 20 years. No more termite swarms. Guess its still working. Entomology museum used these stakes around their building and suggested these stakes to me. Told me there is no such thing as getting rid of them totally, but the stakes keep them at bay and kills the queen then Colonies die. Good prevention
