The system is a monitoring tool only: the plastic stations and wood monitoring blocks attract termites through their normal foraging behavior, after which confirmed activity is managed by installing BASF’s Trelona compressed bait cartridges (sold separately). The kit includes ten inspection cartridges (TIC), ten TBS stations and ten wood monitoring blocks — but not the spider tool used to open stations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these stations work to find termites?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stations rely on termite biology and routine foraging. Installed in soil near foundations or landscape beds, the wooden monitoring block inside offers an accessible food source and shelter; foraging termites locate the block and enter the station where you can detect their presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalled 10–20 feet apart around the building perimeter for broad coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEach station sits in a 2½–3 inch diameter, 12-inch deep cavity in the soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes pre-fitted inspection cartridges (TIC) and wood blocks for initial detection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic station design protects the monitor from surface disturbance and weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s included and what do I need to buy separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case supplies ten complete monitoring setups: Advance TIC inspection cartridges, ten TBS outer stations and ten wooden monitoring blocks. The stations are detection devices only and contain no termiticide; if you confirm termite activity you must purchase Trelona compressed bait cartridges to eliminate the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded: 10 x Advance TIC inspection cartridges, 10 x TBS stations, 10 x wood monitoring blocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot included: Trelona bait cartridges (for control) and the spider tool to open the station.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended: a Trelona-compatible bait and basic digging tools for installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I install and maintain the stations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace stations in soil adjacent to foundations, typically in landscape beds or along the crawlspace side. Dig 2½–3 inch diameter holes about 12 inches deep, set the station so the top is level with or just below soil grade, and check the stations regularly for termite activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpacing: generally 10–20 feet apart around the structure for even detection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDepth\/diameter: 12 inches deep and 2½–3 inches diameter per station cavity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMonitoring: inspect stations periodically; replace inspection cartridge with Trelona when activity is confirmed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTools: standard garden tools for digging; spider tool not included for opening lids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these stations attract termites to my home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvance TBS are designed to intercept termites already foraging in the soil rather than lure new colonies to the structure. The wood block mimics natural wood sources; placing stations at the perimeter offers an alternative point of contact away from structural timbers for detection purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFunction: detection-first approach, not a termiticide reservoir.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlacement: in the soil near—but not inside—building structural wood to monitor activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow-up: install Trelona bait only after termites are confirmed in a station.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Property managers, pest control professionals and homeowners who want a proactive termite monitoring strategy will use these Advance TBS stations to detect subterranean termite activity around a structure. The kit is ideal for those who plan to pair perimeter monitoring with BASF’s Trelona bait program for colony elimination, and for users familiar with basic soil installation and periodic inspection routines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do Advance TBS stations contain insecticide?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. These stations are detection devices only; they contain no termiticide.
