Trelona Termite Baits Sydney

• Trelona® Termite Bait stations are our recommendation for most  termite management solutions in Sydney.

It is well engineered with scrupulous research in “white ant” behaviour.

A1 Pest Control was one of the first firms in Sydney to become accredited with the Trelona bait stations system.

We found it had well designed, discreet features to get rid of termites safely with long term, tested protection.

Do termite bait stations really work?

Yes, providing that they are used properly.  You won’t get rid of termites by simply placing DYI (do it yourself) bait stations from Sydney hardware stores such as Bunnings into the ground and walking away. Trelona works best when used in conjunction with Termidor barrier systems. Baiting is most effective where sufficient numbers of termites “bump into” stations whilst foraging and eat the termite bait.

Facts About Termite Nests

• Termites have the most diverse nests ranging from massive underground labrynths that can be up to 1000 cubic metres in size, to towering catherdrals which can be up to 7 metres tall! nesting is a type of trait used by eusocial insects like wasps termites and ants.
• they build these nests to  defend against predators and to acquire a set temperature and humidity level. many crypto-termes are able to adjust population size and development through accordance to the size of the wood they have infested.
• depending on the species termites can either build nests in soil while living a completely subterranean existence, build in dead/living trees or even in a small sized timber piece they are using to feed.
• some termites can attach their nests up high in a living tree while maintaining ground contact using galleries running up and down the tree trunk.
• the nest can be a storage space for food and in some cases certain species can use the set temperature and humidity of the nest to harbour a fungus farm in which they can grow their own food.
• most termite species attack timber in service so most species pest controllers deal with are cryptic in nature, meaning, their nests are hidden from plain site
• Coptotermes are mostly found inside trees/stumps etc.
• Mastotermes can be found in the rootball of  trees underground.
• Nasutitermes & Microcerotermes are the most likely species to build obvious nests. Termites that feed on grass show off their feats of engineering through building monument like nests.

Q. Is DIY Termite Baiting worth it?

A. No, Not unless you have the necessary training and experience. A licensed pest controller is trained in termite biology,  building construction, and have many years of experience finding entry points and control.

Before we install the Trelona system, we will complete a full thermite imaging pest report of your home or business to determine what pest management of termites is required.

ATBS stations are installed at approximately 3 metre intervals. Your fully qualified inspector will identify the required inspections period, which may vary from 3-6 monthly intervals.

The unique advantage of  ATBS is that Termidor termiticide may be used alongside of it as the perfect protection partner.

Termidor is the premium name in termite control since 2002.

Due to the termite risk or building design, a combined treatment may offer the very best protection for your home or business.
