How Bait Stations Take Out a Termite Colony

Subterranean termites live in the soil and search for food all day. Bait stations turn that search against them.

  1. They find a station

    Worker termites foraging in the soil run into a station set in the ground around your home.

  2. They feed on the bait

    Trelona stations come with bait already inside, so there is no empty monitoring phase.

  3. They share it

    Workers carry the bait back and pass it through the colony as they feed each other.

  4. The colony declines

    The active ingredient stops termites from molting, so the colony shrinks over time.

Baiting takes patience. It works through the colony over weeks to months, not overnight. That is why the stations stay in the ground and get checked every year.

Signs of Termites in an Oklahoma Home

Termites stay hidden. These are the clues homeowners usually spot first.

  • A swarm indoors or by the foundation

    Dozens of winged insects near a window, door, or slab, usually on a warm day after rain.

  • Piles of shed wings

    Small, equal-sized wings on windowsills or the floor after a swarm.

  • Mud tubes

    Pencil-width dirt tunnels running up the foundation, piers, or inside wall.

  • Wood that sounds hollow

    Baseboards, trim, or door frames that sound papery or dent when you press them.

  • Bubbling paint

    Paint or drywall that bubbles or sags, which can look like water damage.

Bait Stations or Liquid Treatment?

Both are proven ways to treat subterranean termites. Here is how they differ, plainly.

Termite bait stations compared with liquid soil treatment
TopicTrelona bait stations (what we do)Liquid soil treatment
How it worksTermites eat the bait and share it, working through the colonyCreates a treated zone in the soil that termites contact as they pass through
InstallStations set in the soil around the outside of the homeTrenching around the foundation and often drilling through slabs or patios
SpeedGradual, usually weeks to monthsFaster contact with termites in the treated zone
UpkeepYearly inspection, bait replaced when it is eatenTreated zone breaks down over years and may need a retreat
DisruptionVery little digging, nothing drilled insideMore digging near beds, walks, and slabs

We specialize in baiting. If your home needs a liquid treatment instead, we will tell you during the inspection.

What are Trelona termite bait stations?
Trelona is a termite bait system made by BASF. Stations are set in the soil around your home and come with bait already inside. Termites that find a station feed on the bait and share it with the rest of the colony.
How long do bait stations take to work?
Baiting is gradual. Termites have to find the stations, feed, and spread the bait through the colony, which usually takes weeks to months. The stations stay in place and keep protecting the home after that.
Do you drill or trench around my house?
No. Bait stations are set into the soil around the outside of the home. There is no trenching along the foundation and nothing is drilled through your floors or patio.
How much do termite bait stations cost in Oklahoma City?
The price depends on the size of your home's perimeter and the ground around it. We do a free inspection and give you a written price for the install and the yearly renewal before any work starts. Call or text (405) 696-7299.
What happens at the yearly check?
We open every station, look for termite feeding, and replace any bait that has been eaten. We also look around the foundation for mud tubes or other signs of activity.
Are termites common in Oklahoma City and Edmond?
Yes. Subterranean termites are found across central Oklahoma and are the main termite that damages homes here. Swarms are most often seen in spring.
Are those flying insects termites or ants?
They can look alike. Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist, and wings that are all the same length. Flying ants have bent antennae, a pinched waist, and longer front wings. Text us a photo and we will tell you which one you have.
