Was thinking of DIY and have a ton of these. Looks like its from some Nola program. Can I use them or remove them? What sort of tool do I need?

Looks like a snake bite bit is used after looking for a while. Does anyone know if I can drop one of these bases in to monitor?

A spanner screwdriver. If they’re not on your property, it’s theft. If they are on your property and the bait holder is green that’d be sentricon. You probably won’t find that bait outside of a commercial operator.

It's on my property. I have a few of the green ones but over half of my house is surrounded by cement or inlaid stone so I mostly have these. So you're saying these other baits or wood monitoring pieces can't be used in there? I see the caps with an Allen head being sold at do my own. It says bore a hole and just drop the bait in. Will this be any different?

stick 2 small finishing nails in the holes and then grab with a pliers and twist, it should unscrew rather easy

Those covers usually aren’t very tight. You may be able to pop a few off with a couple of screwdrivers. See what’s inside. Most likely it will be the bottom portion of the green stations. You can pull all of that out. Find a bait that will fit. I don’t recommend the monitoring wood. Google spanner screwdriver for the tool. Some do have Allen screws.

That’s just wood man. You can buy some Trelona concrete bait rations to put in that core. Buy some bait for it too.

Ordered the bits to open and an advance station wood base. If it fits I will get more of those and the cellulose cartridges to go on top.
