If you’re pondering over using baiting systems to shield your home from termites, you’re not alone. It’s a popular approach many homeowners consider. But is it the most effective method for you? And with a plethora of baiting systems available in the market, which one ensures maximum protection?
Choosing the perfect termite baiting system isn’t just about picking any option off the shelf. It’s about finding a system that truly works!
While it might sound like we’re stating the obvious, it’s essential to realize that not all baiting systems are made equal. Differences abound when it comes to effectiveness, durability, and pricing, especially here on the Gold Coast.
Before diving into the specifics of termite baiting systems, it’s crucial to address this fundamental question: Is a baiting system inherently better than a chemical barrier treatment?
The suitability of either approach largely hinges on factors like the construction of your property and its termite history. Sometimes, the nature and design of a building may make chemical treatments more effective.
However, the best guidance doesn’t come from generic recommendations. Rather, it’s derived from termite experts who are versatile in both baiting systems and chemical treatments. Such professionals can provide an unbiased perspective, steering clear of the ‘one-size-fits-all’ mindset, and offer solutions tailored to your unique situation.
If a “Pestie” is exclusively suggesting one method simply because that’s their only offering, it could indicate they’re not considering the optimal solution for your needs.
When it comes to termite protection, Conquer Termites Gold Coast recommends the Trelona Advance Termite Baiting System.
The Trelona system offers a frontline defence, targeting foraging termites before they infiltrate your home. Developed and brought to Australia by the leading chemical conglomerate, BASF, Trelona has established itself as a baiting system of excellence for Australian conditions.
We normally recommend Trelona over Sentrion baiting for three main reasons:
Integration: Here at Conquer Termites, we can integrate the Trelona Advance Termite Bait System into a comprehensive termite management plan, complemented by products like Termidor Residual or Termidor HE.
Price: The replenishment of the bait capsules are cheaper than a Sentricon bait rod.
More bait: When stacked against other products, Trelona ATBS showcases several notable merits. It boasts 50% more bait in every application and remains unparalleled in its ability to be used alongside the Termidor range.
