    Q
    What is the difference between Trelona ATBS Kit and Advance Termite Bait System Kit?
    Description for both says they come with TIC (termite inspection cartridge) and TMB (termite monitoring base) and both have Trelona bait included. I am confused, who made the Advance Termite Bait System Kit and how are these two different?
    A

    The Advance Termite Bait System Kit is being replaced by the Trelona ATBS. The components of either kit will fit both systems.

    Q
    Against what type of termites is Trelona ATBS Home Monitoring Kit effective?
    I already bought taurus sc for a liquid treatment if i find activity. Can i just pour that on the traps that get hit? I also have a tree by my house that is infested. Do you have any suggestions on how to treat the tree to kill the termites as the tree is already dead.
    A

    The Trelona ATBS Home Montoring Kit is effective for subterranean termites. We advise NOT to pour the Taurus SC on top of the bait stations for treatment as Taurus SC is best recommened to be applied around the structure by trenching every10 linear feet with 4 gallons of the mixed solution to give you a residual control for up to 10 years. If the tree has been damaged by termites it would be advisable to remove the tree and perform a liquid termite soil treatment with Taurus SC to ensure subterranean termites to not find a food source inside of your home.

    Q
    Does direct bait with Trelona mean no monitoring bait required?
    Is answer to question by Michael on 04/08/2010 obsolete, and traps can be baited initially, without monitoring bait?
    A

    The Trelona ATBS Direct Bait System is a newer system that comes with a bait cartridge in each station. Baits will last for up to 90 days if termites are actively feeding on them, but they should be replaced when the bait cartridge is 3/4 empty or after one year, whichever is sooner. In this system, you are only using the wood monitoring base and the bait cartridge in each station. You could choose to use the Inspection Cartridges later if no activity is observed on any of the bait cartridges.

    Q
    Can the Trelona baiting stations be placed in a grassy area with sprinkler coverage?
    I have grass in the yard. Grass covers to about 6" from the house. And also have grass next to patio.
    A

    The Trelona ATBS Home Monitoring Stations should be used 2-4 feet away from the structure and at least 10-15 feet apart. This should not affect the grass around your home and should not be placed in areas where it will come in contact with direct irrigation.
