Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection & Killing Replacement Stakes, 8-Pack — Pop-Up Indicator & Bait

Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection & Killing Replacement Stakes are dual-action ground stakes that reveal termite activity with a pop-up indicator and eliminate foraging termites.

If you already use the Spectracide Terminate complete kit or need supplemental protection around high-risk spots, these replacement stakes deliver easy installation and continuous monitoring. Each stake contains a visible pop-up indicator that signals termite presence and a targeted formulation to reduce foraging termites. Sold in an 8-pack, these stakes are designed for seasonal replacement and strategic placement around foundations, decks, and crawlspaces.

How do these stakes detect termite activity?

The stakes incorporate a pop-up visual indicator that rises when termites have entered the bait area, letting you know when termite activity is occurring below ground. Regular inspection of the indicator lets you monitor sites without invasive digging or guesswork.

• Pop-up indicator visibly signals termite presence.
• Check stakes periodically for changes instead of waiting for surface signs.
• Locator shields help you find stakes quickly in landscaping.

How do they kill foraging termites?

Each stake contains a bait formulation designed to be palatable to foraging worker termites. When termites visit the stake, they feed and carry the bait back to the colony, which can reduce local termite activity over time when used as part of a monitored system.

• Bait attracts foraging termites to the installed stake.
• Termites transfer bait effects within colony networks.
• Intended for use as part of a monitored stake system, not as a standalone guarantee.

Where should I place these replacement stakes around my property?

Install stakes 2 to 3 feet from your home and space them no more than 10 feet apart, focusing on termite-favorable locations. Place stakes near foundations, under decks, around crawlspaces, and in moist, shaded areas where termites are more likely to forage.

• Position stakes 2–3 feet from structures and <=10 feet between stakes.
• Prioritize moist or sheltered spots: under decks, near mulch, around foundations.
• Use locator shields to mark stake positions in lawns or beds.

How often must I check and replace these stakes?

Regular monitoring is essential: inspect stakes as directed by the product instructions and replace all stakes after 12 months of use. Frequent checks let you detect activity early and determine when maintenance or professional treatment is needed.

• Inspect the pop-up indicator periodically for signs of activity.
• Replace stakes completely after one year in the ground.
• If you find active infestation signs, consult a pest professional for assessment.

Who is this for: Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection & Killing Replacement Stakes are for homeowners and property managers who already use or plan to add a monitored termite stake system. They suit anyone wanting a low-effort, visible monitoring option and supplemental baiting around foundations, decks, and other termite-prone areas. These stakes are not a substitute for a full professional treatment plan for active infestations; use them as part of a preventative or monitored approach and contact a licensed pest control provider if you suspect a serious termite problem.
