Monitoring Station
To open the Advance TBS, place The Spider station access tool over the station cap and rotate counter clockwise (to
the left) until the two locking tabs clear the locking ring. Once unlocked, the station cap stays in The Spider and can
be lifted away.
After the station cap is removed, use a cotter pin puller or needle nose pliers (both sold separately) inserted into one of
the outer holes to lift the TIC out of the station to inspect for termite activity. If termites are not yet active in the TIC, the
technician should peer into the center cavity of the TMB for evidence of termite activity. Generally, it is not necessary,
or recommended, to remove the TMB when inspecting the station.
If termites are not present, place the TIC back in the station and lock the station cap by turning The Spider tool clock-
wise (right turn). If termites are present in the TIC or the TMB, replace the TIC with a Termite Bait Cartridge (TBC sold
separately), replace station cover and lock into position.
NOTE: Station monitoring should be conducted at regular intervals. Always read and follow label direc-
tions. In high termite pressure areas, it may be necessary to inspect more frequently.
Always read and follow label directions.

Once the soil is removed from the hole, insert the Advance TBS in the hole and press down. The top of the station
should rest on the soil without extending significantly above the ground.
