Natural Insect Repellent

We have purchased these stakes to help monitor and control potential termite activity around my home, and overall I’m very satisfied. The kit is easy to set up — the instructions are clear, and the stakes go into the ground quickly with minimal effort. I really like the pop-up indicator feature; it’s simple but effective for checking whether there’s been any termite activity without having to dig or disturb the soil. After installing them, I felt much more confident about catching any early signs of termites before they become a serious problem. They seem to do their job well, and the bait inside is convenient for killing foraging termites. The price is reasonable too, especially compared to professional pest control services. The only small drawback is that the stakes can be a bit fragile if you try to push them into harder ground — I recommend softening the soil a bit first to avoid cracking the plastic. Other than that, it’s a solid product that provides good peace of mind and an easy, affordable way to protect your property. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to keep an eye on termite activity around their home. Our neighbors spend hundreds of $ for the same control from the professional service.

Spectracide kills termites, this product is affective, quality made dependable termination of termites.

Well, I haven't run into any termites yet but several of these stakes “false triggered” due to clogged gutters overflowing and saturating the inner core. Ants and an earthworm triggered another. My neighbor two house down had a woodpile next to their garage and their garage got eaten by the critters. These are good insurance against termites fleeing from an infested house nearby. How to prevent termites? Have your house inspected by a reputable termite company (cost: less that $85.00). Do you have a channel where dirt has sunk in next to your foundation? Order a dump truck load of regular dirt (not dirt/sawdust mix) and make sure water drains away from your house (go out during your next rainstorm and take note of areas that flood. Downspouts should have at least 4 foot extension pipes that drain away from the house. Gutters clogged? Clean all the mud and sand out or these and make sure downspouts are clear. Termites need a moist environment. Nests can be 20 or 30 feet away from your house. Locate woodpiles at the far end of your property line and try to keep wood from making contact with the ground. If you have a concrete slab or a steel wood rack - great! I hate the idea of squirting termite poison in the ground. Common sense solutions and these termite stakes will guarantee you will stay termite free. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. REMEMBER: The best time to find places where water pools near your house is during a gully washer rainstorm. Keep wooden fence posts, wood piles, tree stumps, mulch away from your foundation. Watch out for carpenter ants too! They are usually the big black ants that do as much damage as termites. If you have very old, decaying trees that have low-lieing limbs over your roof, you will probably get carpenter ant damage to your roof - or any area that traps moisture or has a roof leak. If these critters are around the perimeter of your house, they’re not making a social call. Cut overhanging limbs, remove dead or decaying trees. Common sense. . . You can do it (for free).

Wish it was just push into ground like the ant stakes. Needs a drill to make big hole. Haven't used yet. I'll update later.
