Termite Baiting Sunshine Coast

1) We put monitoring stations in the ground around the perimeter of buildings and in areas of termite activity on your property. For example, we will put bait stations in the ground around tree stumps and garden beds. This creates an ‘interception zone’ around your property.

2) Each monitoring station holds an irresistible termite treat made of eucalypt timber. Termites attack these monitoring stations before reaching your property.

3) We regularly inspect monitoring stations every 9 weeks.

4) During an inspection, if we detect termite presence in the monitoring stations, we will add an attractive bait with an insecticide.

5) Termites cannot detect the insecticide bait. They take it back to the colony feeding it to other termites and the queen. Infected termites die when they shed their cuticle (skin), which means it normally takes 4-12 weeks to destroy the colony.

6) Baiting systems are the best way to control a termite colony because you don’t need to find the nest, which is often difficult. Eliminating the colony rather than just killing the termites you see, is the best way to reduce termite problems on your property.

7) If your home is already under termite attack, we can install safe, sealed Exterra stations inside your property. Placed in active locations, termites feed on the bait and kill the colony.
