In my experience, bait systems are iffy at best. You already have bait: your house.
My experience is with Terminix:
1) Their bait was un-poisoned Aspen stakes. "Their favorite food". I told the rep New England termites had never tasted Aspen, but they were known to like Pine. "Blank stare"
2) They do not put in poisoned Aspen until the un-poisoned bait has been eaten. See 1). And the termites were already living in the Pine 2x4s and destroying the house while Terminix waited for evidence of feeding on their bait.
So, make sure your "bait" is poisoned to begin with. Good luck.
