Proactive Termite Monitoring Stations for Colony Elimination
Want to eliminate the colony causing the damage – not just the termites you can see?
Termites are constantly searching for new food sources, often travelling significant distances underground before they reach a property. By the time termite activity becomes visible, damage may already have occurred.
Premium termite baiting systems provide an effective way to monitor for termite activity and target colonies before they gain access to your home or building. Unlike traditional treatments that focus on termites at the point of entry, baiting systems work with natural termite behaviour. Foraging termites feed on the bait and carry the active ingredient back to the colony, where it is shared throughout the nest to help eliminate the infestation at its source.
At National Pest Solutions, we use the Trelona® ATBS (Advanced Termite Baiting System) – one of the world’s leading termite monitoring and baiting systems – to help protect homes, investment properties, body corporates and commercial buildings throughout Brisbane, Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast.

The National Pest Solutions Promise
When comparing termite baiting systems, it’s important to compare more than just the price.
Termite Treatment from $2000 AUD
Pricing varies depending on the size of your property, the number of stations required and your individual termite protection needs.
What Are Termite Baiting Systems?
Termite baiting stations are discreet monitoring devices installed in the ground around a property.
Their purpose is simple:
✔ Detect termite activity early
✔ Target active colonies
✔ Provide ongoing protection and peace of mind
Unlike traditional termite barriers, baiting systems, or termite baiting stations, work by exploiting the natural feeding and foraging behaviour of termites.
When termites discover a bait station, they begin feeding on the material inside and share it with the rest of the colony.
Over time, this can significantly impact or eliminate the colony responsible for the activity.
How Does The Trelona® ATBS System Work?
The Trelona® Advanced Termite Baiting System combines continuous termite monitoring with highly effective colony elimination technology.
Step 1:
Stations Are Installed Around The Property
Stations are strategically placed in the soil around the perimeter of the building and other high-risk locations. Usually in gardens for aesthetic purposes.
Step 2:
Ongoing Monitoring
During routine inspections, our technicians check each station for termite activity.
Every station installed by National Pest Solutions features a unique QR code that allows us to digitally track:
✔ Station location
✔ Inspection history
✔ Termite activity
✔ Bait consumption
✔ Service records
This creates a detailed monitoring history for your property and allows us to quickly identify changes in termite activity over time.
Step 3:
Active Termites Are Detected
When termites enter a station, the monitoring cartridge is replaced with a Trelona® bait.
Step 4:
Colony Elimination
Foraging termites consume the bait and carry it back to the colony.
Through normal termite behaviour, including feeding and grooming, the active ingredient is distributed throughout the colony.
This process can significantly reduce or eliminate the colony responsible for the activity.
Why Homeowners Choose Termite Baiting Systems
Many property owners prefer baiting systems because they provide ongoing monitoring rather than relying solely on a protective treatment zone.
Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
For many properties, termite baiting systems form part of a comprehensive termite management strategy.
Where Are Bait Stations Installed?
Stations are typically installed:
✔ Around the perimeter of the building
✔ Near areas of known termite activity
✔ In or adjacent to gardens and landscaped areas
✔ Near retaining walls
✔ Around timber structures
✔ In locations where termites are likely to forage
The number and placement of stations depends on the size, layout and risk profile of the property.
Every installation is tailored to the individual site.
How Long Do Termite Baiting Stations Last?
The Trelona® ATBS system is designed as a long-term termite monitoring and management solution.
The stations themselves are highly durable and can remain in service for many years when properly maintained.
To remain effective, stations should be professionally inspected and maintained at regular intervals.
During servicing we may:
✔ Check for termite activity
✔ Replace monitoring cartridges
✔ Replenish bait where required
✔ Update tracking records
✔ Assess changes in termite pressure
Like smoke alarms, termite baiting stations are most effective when regularly monitored and maintained.
Are Termite Baiting Systems Better Than Chemical Barriers?
Not necessarily.
Both systems have advantages depending on the property and level of termite risk.
Chemical Barriers
Designed to help prevent termites from entering a structure through a treated zone.
Baiting Systems
Designed to monitor termite activity and target colonies through termite feeding behaviour.
In some situations, one solution may be appropriate.
In others, a combination of barriers, baiting systems and regular inspections may provide the most comprehensive protection.
Our recommendations are based on your property’s unique requirements.
