“Hi this is Bruce from A1 Pest Control in Kellyville. We’re doing an install of Trelona. Just on the positioning of the termite bait stations I’d like to do a walk-through with the client before we we do any digging.
What we do is we do a layout approximately every three metres, not more than that if we can help it around the perimeter of the property.
The client walks around with us and if there is any problem areas we have a chat about that. The water pipes is an area where that they can be a a problem because we don’t want to cause any damage.
We rely on the customers knowledge of the the pipes but we also use common sense. We wouldn’t for example put it in line with these underground pipes.
It’s always best if we can to get a cable detection mob to paint out the existence of or the probable existence of pipes. Then we can avoid them if possible.
This house we could put some termite bait stations around the perimeter by coring into the concrete.
The owner hasn’t got any termite problems at the moment. The house is termite free as far as we know.
We’ve said to him that if he doesn’t wish to put bait stations along there that’s fine. I don’t think a barrier would be suitable here because we’ve got soil that’s going to be piled up against the wall of the house.
So to put in an effective barrier you’d probably have to go a few metres down to cover all areas, so this is a limitation on a treatment for a barrier.
Also it would be for termite baits, so we didn’t actually recommend at this stage to have baits along the concrete areas.
We’ve decided to put them in the soil in this area.
Here is an area at the corner of the house where termites can come along, so we decided that that was a good area to have them also at the back.
In this house they’ve got a garden area we can put them in and the other side is much the same as the site that just came up
It’s for concrete areas so we’ve put a minimum of 10 bait stations in this property and that’s a bare minimum!
The owners agreed to that because there are some limitations to the treatment and that more frequent inspections would be necessary and we’re fine with that.
It’s got a subfloor area where I’m going to recommend that they do put a barrier if termites come up under underneath the house.
I’m confident that using the termite baiting system that we’ve got in place is okay for a minimum requirement and that’s what we’re going to roll with.
So if you are in a place in the Hills District of Sydney, we’re not very far away.
We also service the North Shore and the Northern Beaches areas.
So it’s Bruce from A1 Pest Control and termite baits in Sydney”
Trelona is well engineered with scrupulous research in “white ant” behaviour.

“Okay so that one went in fairly easy and we’re be providing a map, because what can happen to this system is that it can get buried by soil and also grass.
We’re going to advise the owner to keep it clear of all debris and we will provide a map.
A hand-drawn map and a photographic map of where the base stations are located.
They are all numbered and recorded on our system at A1 Pest Control”
A1 Pest Control was one of the first firms in Sydney to become accredited with the Trelona termite bait stations system.
We found that these termite traps had well designed, discreet features to get rid of termites safely with long term, tested protection.

“This is the tool for the Trelona termite bait stations. It’s well engineered, it’s sturdy and is made of aluminium.
So it’s pretty easy to use.”
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.
