3. Fitment Of Above Ground Stations
Pest Aid above ground termite stations are fitted in areas where termite activity has been located.
If termites have been identified, temporary above ground stations will be installed to begin colony elimination.
The benefits of baiting termite with above ground stations are:
- Above ground termite stations eliminate the colony
- They provide an alternative food source over the timber in your property
- They target and eliminate termites at the source
- They often reduce the need to find termite entry points
- Above ground termite stations provide bait to enable termites to feed back to the central nest
4. Installation Of Inground And In Concrete Termite Stations
Tamper resistant pre baited monitoring stations will then be installed around your home. These pre baited termite stations will either be in the ground or concrete, as well as known termite foraging areas, containing timber interceptors and a pre-baited termite tablet, acting as 24/7 termite control and an early warning system against termite attack.

TERMITE CONTROL METHODS
Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems
Termite baiting and monitoring systems are designed to intercept foraging / feeding termites and termite colonies in a safe non toxic and non invasive way.
There are several brands of termite baiting and monitoring systems currently registered for use in Australia, while the manufacturers of the system often choose to use various active ingredients the stations and bait work in a similar manner, some of these system are listed below,
The Inground and inconcrete termite baiting and monitoring stations are commonly installed at 3 metre intervals around the external of all structures requiring protection as well as areas of known termite foraging, this acts as an early warning system to enable our termite experts to eliminate termites and termite colonies before they attack structures and cause damage. Above ground termite bait stations are used where active termites are found within structures.
Termite baiting and monitoring systems take advantage of insect growth regulator (IGR) technology, termites transfer the highly attractive bait food source to other termites within the colony, until all the termites including the queen are eliminated.
Inactive stations are commonly inspection 12 weekly while active stations are monitored 4-12 weekly depending on the termite species, time of year and health of the colony.
What is the average costs to install a Termite Baiting & Monitoring System?
The cost to a install a termite baiting and monitoring system can vary depending on the system type, amount of stations required and level of activity present.
Here is a rough price guide on an average non active 60 lineal metre home.
- 60 metres around the house would require around 20 pre baited stations, 20 x $85 = $1700.00
- A termite inspection of the property with written report = $235.00
- Quarterly station baiting and inspections = $150.00 per visit
- Annual service costs $235.00 – $800.00

Termite Liquid Chemical Barriers
Liquid termite chemical barriers are applied to the soil in an attempt to stop termites entering or attacking structures.
There are many brands of liquid termiticides with several currently registered for use in Australia, while the manufacturers of the products often choose to use various active ingredients, the products are usually broken down into 2 groups as below.
Non repellent liquid termite barriers are designed to allow the termites into the treated soil zone and kill them shortly after contact with the termite poison.
Repellent liquid termite barriers are designed to termites from the treated soil zone and kill them on contact or send them away from the termite poison.
Liquid termite barriers are applied to internal and external concrete areas by drilling holes between 200 – 300mm apart and high pressure injecting under the concrete, non concrete external areas are trenched, sprayed, backfilled and sprayed again, subfloor areas are often treated via traps cut to access the subfloor of each into room.
What is the average costs to apply a liquid termite chemical barrier?
The cost to a install a liquid termite chemical barrier can vary depending on the chemical type, amount of area to cover and level of activity present.
Here is a rough price guide on an average non active 60 lineal metre concrete slab home.
- With a non repellent termiticide, drilling and or trenching and spraying 60 metres around the house would cost around $1900.00
- With a repellent termiticide, drilling and or trenching and spraying 60 metres around the house would cost around $1200.00
- A termite inspection of the property with written report = $235.00
- Annual inspection to maintain any treatment warranties would costs $235.00 – $600.00
Pro’s & Con’s of termite liquid chemical barriers
PRO’S
- Often a quicker fix
- On goings can be cheaper
- Less maintenance than baiting and monitoring systems
CON’S
- Much more toxic than termite IGR baits
- Very little effect or any on the colony unless the nest is found
- Failure rates are often higher than baiting and monitoring systems
- Requires cutting into timber floors where subfloors are not accessible
- Often very difficult to apply a full complete barrier
- Not good for the environment
- Occupants should vacate premises
- Can be ineffective if location of termite entry points are not found
- Need to be reapplied between 5- 10 years
