Termite Bait Station Quantity Estimator

Walk the foundation with a tape, enter the perimeter (or the house length and width), and we divide by your spacing interval and round up. Rounding up is the whole point: flooring would leave a gap larger than the maximum recommended spacing, so a fractional result always becomes the next whole station. Interior monitoring adds 1 station per 1,000 sq ft; high-risk extras are a pass-through count you choose for your property.

perimeter (dimensions mode) = 2 × (length + width)

perimeter stations = ceil(perimeter ÷ spacing)
interior stations  = ceil(interior area ÷ 1,000 sq ft)   (when enabled)
high-risk extras   = your number (pass-through)

total stations     = perimeter + interior + extras
estimated cost     = total × cost per station             (when a price is set)

Round-up rule and 10 ft default follow Engineer Fix and NailTheQuote; the 1-per-1,000-sq-ft interior density follows NailTheQuote; the 6–9 high-risk extras band and the 1–3 ft foundation offset follow Defender Pest and Engineer Fix. Spacing and offset are label-dependent — these are industry-typical starting figures, not a compliance number.

A baiting system is almost always sold as a monitored, renewable program rather than a one-off install, so the station count feeds the pricing page for a monitored renewable program, which covers the initial fee and the renewal behind the monitoring visits. Where the job is a liquid barrier poured at construction, the pre-construction barrier bid runs per square foot instead. The inspection that usually precedes either one is priced by the WDO inspection pricing calculator.
