Use treated grade stakes in the footer. Otherwise you will have a highway for termites.

We always used 1/2" rebar for grade stakes inside the footer. Paint marking paint on the ground so you can find them when the concrete is flowing.

Learned that one the hard way, Feel like a doof when ya gotta hunt for em with a shovel.
