Termites ate through and destroyed part of a fence between my neighbor’s home and mine. The fence was sprayed, but with it only about 150 feet from my home, I decided to be proactive and install termite stakes. The stakes I chose were “Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection & Killer Stakes” that have a twelve-month effectiveness rating by the manufacturer. The killer stakes have an orange-capped shaft that pops up a few inches to inform you if termites are actively feeding on the poisoned bait. The stakes are designed to eradicate ground or subterranean termites, which are the most common type. The kit I bought cost me forty-five dollars and came with 15 Stakes and Detection Shields, a digging augur, and a well-written instruction booklet. In this video, I will show the contents of the kit and my approach to installation, while offering some basic tips and caveats.

We didn't even know that termites lived underground. We thought they only lived in wood. If they are in the ground, is that when you should be concerned about them being on your house? Another great demo video BTW, Tom.

The most common termite is the subterranean that eat wood and travel through the soil; however, there is a less common termite that travels on its wings. What caused me to invest the time and $45.00 in the stakes was seeing the utter destruction of the fence that was shown in the video--it was falling down, and I don't want that to happen to any part of my home. I was/am being proactive. In ten years time, $45.00 equates to $450.00, a bargain to not have the wood supporting the structure of my home compromised by an insect. And thank you for the kind comment.

When termites are close to a structure and feeding at a high volume, from my own perspective, I feel that it is time to take an active step in doing something about them.

Being a DIY person, I follow the directions on whatever materials I am using. I do not remember this product not being used outside of burying each stake in the ground around the perimeter of the house. If you have a problem with bugs in your attic or soffits and want to do it yourself, a pump sprayer and a gallon (or two) of orange oil might be a consideration, if the oils will not damage what is below or in the surrounding area. It does work well with riding wood-eating pests.

the hole you put this into is much larger than the stake which means there is space (air) surrounding the stake under the ground. Is this okay?
@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732

The hole was backfilled with with soil. There was/is no air pocket. I suppose the largest air pocket might be the stake itself, as the chamber is not a solid state--there are holes for the termites to access the bait.

If you know you have termites , why would you want to keep the bait 3 feet from your house ? I'm very tempted to put them closer .
