Apparently, they still maintain the bait traps, but they don't install new ones. The only option I had was the chemical treatment, which is what I wanted anyway. As I understand it, Massey owns the bait traps, not the homeowner. I never did like the bait trap concept. In Virginia, I had a friend who had a termite business. He advised against the bait trap system. The chemical injection method protects the entire house against termites with no maintenance. But, the bait trap system requires regular monitoring and retreatment as needed.
