For outdoor use around the home.

HOW TO USE

Step 1:
Gather together:
• Spectracide Terminate
& Killing Stakes
• Tape measure
• Graph paper included with this booklet
• Auger
• Power drill (optional)
Step 2:
Determine the number of stakes you will need. The number of stakes is determined by
the distance, in feet, around your home. To estimate, use the square footage of your home
excluding your garage, attached decks, patios and porches. Home designs vary, but if you
know the approximate square footage of your home the chart below will help you choose
the number of stakes you need.

Step 3:
Prepare a drawing of your house using the graph paper in the back of this booklet. This will
help you to locate the stakes during the inspection process. Include features on the drawing
such as doors, bushes, chimneys, etc. Look for areas that are likely to support termite
activity and note them on your drawing. These might include areas that retain moisture
around downspouts, spigots, air conditioner lines, and low areas with poor drainage. Direct
wood-to-ground contact is a source of food for termites. Be sure to note fences, stairs,
trellises, woodpiles, mulch beds, wooden retaining walls, tree stumps, and landscaping
timbers.
Step 4:
Place the stakes around the house. Install stakes 2 to 3 ft away from the foundation and no
more than 10 ft apart. Place two or more stakes closer together in "termite critical" areas.
These are the areas noted in Step 3 that contain a source of moisture or food for termites,
or are known to have termite activity.
Before digging any holes, locate and avoid all potential underground hazards
such as gas, electric, water and other utility lines, as well as sprinkler systems,
landscape lights, phone or television cables and underground pet fencing
systems. Call your utility company for assistance if needed.
