Termite Baiting
The Trelona® ATBS has been developed by leading brand Termidor in order to provide a tailored approach for each Australian home. This termite bait system provides:
- A discreet bait station that’s used to encourage termite feeding

Chemical Barriers
It is estimated that as many as 1 in 3 properties in Australia are affected in some way by termites. We use a number of effective chemical agents including Termidor which is the world's most effective termite management chemical. Termidor works by being un-detectable to termites. This ensures they are not able to avoid the treated zone.

Termite Information
Termites pose significant risks to a property. Here's the critical information you need to assess whether you have an infestation and how to resolve it quickly.
What Do Termites Sound Like?
Termites can be surprisingly loud for such small insects. If you have termites, you might hear a clicking or tapping sound. Termites make these noises to communicate with the colony if they've been disturbed or threatened, and to stay protected while feeding.
5 Signs Of A Termite Infestation:
1. Termite Wings
After termite swarmers - the reproducers within a termite colony - leave their colony and find a mate, they shed their wings.
Swarmers tend to be attracted to light, so you'll most likely find them around your doors and windows. As they don't live long indoors, you might find dead bodies or discarded wings in these areas.
These are both signs you have an active infestation.
2. Termite Droppings
Termite droppings, or 'frass', are produced as termites digest wood and send it out of the colony to prevent build-up. Drywood termites, which are located in coastal regions, are the only variety to produce visible frass. It looks like pellets and is wood-coloured, so might be confused with wood shavings or dust. If you notice frass, you have an infestation in your property.
Subterranean termites, on the other hand, use droppings to build mud tunnels. Also known as 'white ants', they're common throughout mainland Australia.
3. Termite Damage On Walls
As termites feed on the cardboard or wood panelling beneath your walls, they create tunnels ('termite galleries') and small pin holes ('exit holes'). You might think this damage is always easy to spot, but sometimes galleries and holes can be created without any obvious disturbance to your paint or wallpaper - meaning you're more likely to detect termite damage when conducting a repair or home renovation. If you do notice a change in the way your wallpaper or paint job looks, you might have termites. Inspect the area for any unusual holes, paint bubbles, discolouration, buckling, sunken winding lines, or indentation.
4. Mud Tubes
Another sign of termites is mud tubes. These appear as narrow veins which run down the sides of your home from the ground towards exposed wood sections. Mud tubes are used by termites to protect themselves from the dry air. They're particularly useful for subterranean termites, who dry out quickly thanks to their thin exoskeletons. Mud tubes offer the humid, safe environment they need to search for food and to thrive. If the mud tube contains live termites, you have an active infestation. If it doesn't, you could still have termites on your property, so it's important to stay on the lookout.
5. Stuck Windows/Doors
If you have a door or window that's stuck or hard to move, you might have a termite infestation. Termites are drawn to exposed wood on windows and doorframes, and as they feed on them they can cause the wood to warp. Damage could also lead to structural issues in your homes, such as deteriorating baseboards or collapsing floors and ceilings. As there are many potential causes of structural problems, look out for damaged wood or dirt tunnels to confirm an infestation.
