Stop Termites Before They Break Ground
Termites don’t announce themselves. They build colonies below the surface and eat from the inside out. Bait systems catch them early. Bugs Are Gone installs and maintains termite bait systems that track colony activity and take it down before damage begins.
We place the control in your yard, not in your walls.
Why Bait Stations Work When Sprays Don’t
Sprays and soil treatments block termites, but they don’t solve the bigger problem; a growing underground colony. Bait systems do.
Each station contains a monitored food source treated with slow-acting active ingredients. Termites carry it back to their colony, affecting the population at its core. No chase. No guesswork.
These systems stop the threat where it starts.
How Our Termite Bait Systems Work
We install discreet bait stations around your property, spaced and positioned based on termite behavior. They sit flush with the ground and blend in with your lawn or garden.
Inside each station is a cellulose bait that mimics timber. Termites prefer it over your structure. Once they feed, the active compound spreads through their network, disrupting growth and reproduction.
We track it. We refill it. We stop it.
Each System Includes
- Ground-level stations spaced every 2 to 3 meters
- Lure bait blocks designed to attract active termites
- Active ingredient installed once feeding begins
- Non-invasive monitoring tools
- Regular inspection and refill schedule
- Full tracking logs for property owners
Best Time to Install Termite Bait Systems
Bait systems work year-round, but early installation provides better protection. We recommend installing bait stations:
- During dry seasons to prevent early migration
- Right after pre-construction treatments as a second layer
- After spotting termite activity around fences or trees
- When soil treatments aren’t viable
- For properties in termite-prone zones
If your structure is already protected with physical barriers, bait stations add an external buffer. If there’s no barrier, bait becomes your first line of defense.
What Makes Our Setup Different
We don’t just drop in bait and leave. We track termite activity, switch to active ingredients at the right time, and replace bait before it degrades. Our job is to manage the entire process, not just install hardware.
Our Method
- Inspect the perimeter and locate active paths
- Dig precise holes and insert stations flush with ground
- Insert initial intercept bait blocks
- Track activity through routine checks
- Install active bait when feeding begins
- Monitor spread and eliminate the colony
- Refill or reposition as needed
Each visit includes a written log of station status and product usage. You’ll know exactly what’s happening underground.
Refill Services That Keep Protection Going
Bait stations don’t work without upkeep. Termites are persistent and constantly shifting location. That’s why our refills include:
- Visual check of each station
- Identification of activity levels
- Replacement of eaten or weathered bait
- Repositioning of inactive stations
- Fresh bait insertion with active compound if needed
- Full log and timestamped visit record
We recommend checks every 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the season and termite pressure in your area.
Why Spray-and-Go Solutions Fall Short
Surface sprays provide instant knockdown, but not long-term results. Once the barrier breaks down, termites return. Bait stations don’t rely on chemical presence in the soil. They stay in place, waiting, attracting, and triggering action when needed.
For properties with landscaping, children, or pets, bait systems offer control without chemicals in open soil zones.
Why Bugs Are Gone Gets Termite Bait Right
Not all bait systems are the same. Placement, timing, and monitoring make the difference. Bugs Are Gone builds systems that adapt to your property layout and termite pressure.
What You Can Expect
- Clear layout map with labeled bait station zones
- Service stickers showing last visit and next check
- Secure stations with tamper-resistant lids
- Quarterly or bi-monthly monitoring schedules
- Non-disruptive visits with minimal noise or impact
- Quick response if activity flares between checks
We don’t wait for visible signs. We stay ahead of it.
Who Should Use Termite Bait Systems in Melbourne?
- Homeowners in high-pressure termite areas
- Properties with minimal soil access or slab-on-ground builds
- Structures with timber fences or decks
- Sites near tree stumps, mulch, or untreated soil
- Rental properties needing non-invasive options
We tailor the system layout to match your home’s exposure. You won’t pay for stations that won’t get activity.
Station Placement That Works With Your Yard
Our team places bait stations where termites are likely to move along fencing, near drainage lines, behind landscaping, and around timber edges. The layout stays clear of pets, walkways, and water lines.
We use ground-level caps that sit flush with the soil and won’t disrupt lawn care or gardening.
Each bait station includes a tamper-resistant lid for child safety.
Long-Term Control Without Damage to Your Home
Bait stations require no drilling, no trenching, and no spraying around footpaths or tiles. This makes them ideal for modern properties with finished gardens or concrete exteriors.
Your walls stay untouched. Your lawn stays clean. Your property stays monitored.
Ready to Set the Trap?
You don’t need to wait for damage. Termite bait systems work best before problems begin. If you already see signs, mud tubes, discarded wings, timber soft spots, it’s time to act now.
