Termite Baiting & Monitoring

A lower-disruption alternative to chemical barriers

Monitoring and baiting systems are an alternative to chemical barrier treatments — and for some properties, they’re the better option. They work by attracting termites to in-ground stations and eliminating the colony over time, without requiring soil injection or chemical application across the entire perimeter.

How baiting and monitoring works

How monitoring and baiting works

Stations are installed in the ground at regular intervals around the perimeter of your property. Each station contains material that attracts foraging termites.

We check the stations on scheduled visits. If termite activity is found at a station, we introduce a bait — a slow-acting substance that the termites carry back to the colony. The bait spreads through the colony and eliminates it over time.

The process typically takes several weeks to a few months depending on the colony size and species. We monitor progress at each service visit.

When we recommend baiting over chemical barriers

Baiting and monitoring systems are often the right choice when:

The property has extensive garden areas where soil injection would be disruptive. There are water features or landscaping that make perimeter treatment difficult. The homeowner prefers to minimise soil chemical use. The risk level is lower and ongoing monitoring is appropriate.

We assess each property individually and recommend the treatment that makes most sense — not the most expensive option. The first step is always an inspection.

Servicing

Baiting systems require periodic servicing to check stations and refresh bait where needed. We schedule service visits at appropriate intervals and let you know what we find at each visit.

All baiting and monitoring installations and treatments are backed by a 6-month guarantee. For other options, see our termite treatment overview.
