Spectracide Terminate is a two-in-one termite stake: a pop-up indicator shows when termites are feeding, and the stake itself kills the foragers that reach it. The kit has 15 stakes with locator shields, a digging tool and instructions, and uses Dow technology. It suits homeowners who want early warning around decks, crawl spaces and foundations, not a cure for an active infestation. Against professional baiting systems it is cheaper and simpler to install, but it covers a smaller area and needs monitoring and yearly replacement.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 508 ratings, buyers mostly find the stakes easy to place and like the pop-up indicator as an early warning. Some note the limited coverage and the need to check and replace them.
Spectracide Terminate Termite Detection and Killing Stakes combine two functions in one product. The pop-up indicators detect termite activity, and the stakes kill foraging termites. The stakes are made with Dow Technology.
The kit includes 15 stakes with easy-to-find locator shields, an instruction booklet and a digging tool. Place the stakes 2 to 3 feet away from your home and no more than 10 feet apart. Use them in termite-favorable areas, including around and under decks and in crawl spaces, and place more stakes in moist areas.
Monitor the stakes as directed and replace all stakes after 12 months of use. The stakes are not recommended as sole protection against termites. For active infestations, get a professional inspection.
