Who told you they can’t be done as a combination treatment? That is not correct. The state has a contract strictly for combination treatments. Taurus SC/Termidor is a non-repellant. That is the liquid you want to use. Set the stations just inside/outside of the roofline if possible. Double layer of protection!

the exterminator, they've been the ones who I've been contracted under for 7 years now. i didnt look into it any further, but maybe i'll call and get more clarification.

Do bait stations every 10 feet. Much easier than all that concrete drilling and trenching and is more effective. Get the professional type as well and not the ones from HD.
Ebay people sell them and also refills if needed. They last years. I follow the inspection guy around and ask questions and watch what he does. It’s extremely easy, effective, and 1x per year monitoring. The bait stations are a little pricy but that’s because Spectracide doesn’t sell to directly to the public and you have to buy them from resellers (who obviously want to make a profit)
Get a cheap dirt auger drill bit from Amazon and you’re set. Maybe 1.5 inches. Not sure. Measure the diameter when you get them.

It turns out i may have misunderstood the guy the first time and its just a practice that my exterminator goes by because theres been research that shows the bait station/trench combo may not be as effective as just having either/or. i misunderstood him to say that the chemicals cancel each other out, but thats not right. the bait stations rely on the termites bringing the bait back to the colony and the trench can kill them on contact so they cant bring the bait into the colony.
