Exterminex™ Professional Termite Baiting System
A Bait Preferred by Termites
Exterminex™ is engineered to maximise termite interception and feeding. The bait is formulated using a highly palatable, highly refined cellulose matrix (HEC), designed to closely mimic natural food sources targeted by subterranean termites.
This high acceptance profile allows termites to preferentially forage on Exterminex™ bait rather than continuing to feed on structural timber or other cellulose sources within the property.
Proven Attractiveness
Subterranean termites readily locate and enter Exterminex™ bait stations with no observable hesitation. Once stations are intercepted, termites redirect their foraging activity toward the bait, increasing consumption rates and accelerating transfer throughout the colony.
Exceptional Palatability
Once feeding begins, termites continue consuming Exterminex™ without aversion. The matrix supports sustained feeding behaviour, which is critical for effective toxicant distribution via trophallaxis and subsequent colony suppression or elimination.

Complete System Architecture
The Exterminex termite baiting system provides a full, integrated solution for professional use, including:
-
In-ground monitoring and bait stations
-
Above-ground bait stations for active infestations
-
Exterminex termite bait formulated for colony elimination programs
This allows technicians to manage the full termite lifecycle from detection through to elimination and long-term monitoring.
Efficient Handling and Storage
Exterminex™ bait is supplied in professional-grade sealed packaging to maintain freshness, consistency, and palatability. Packaging is designed for ease of transport, storage, and on-site deployment.
Fast, Precise Installation
The system is designed for quick and accurate installation to meet site-specific requirements:
-
Minimal disturbance to structures and landscaping
-
Efficient deployment for both residential and commercial properties
-
Reduced labour time without compromising performance
Safety Profile
Exterminex™ utilises a highly specific insect growth regulator toxicant that targets termites only. The formulation exhibits extremely low mammalian toxicity, making the risk of accidental poisoning during handling or installation negligible when used as directed.
Reliable Performance
Exterminex™ demonstrates:
-
No bait shyness
-
Consistent feeding and toxicant transfer
-
Reduced need for revisits and rework
This translates to improved operational efficiency for technicians and predictable outcomes for clients.
Benefits Recognised by Property Owners
Suitable for:
-
Residential homes, strata properties, and rental dwellings
-
Commercial buildings, warehouses, factories, and retail premises
Non-Invasive Treatment
Installation does not alter or damage property structures or interiors. No drilling, cutting, or disruptive works are required. Above-ground installations are typically completed within minutes, while in-ground installations are generally completed within approximately one hour.
Ongoing Peace of Mind
Once installed, Exterminex™ bait stations operate continuously and discreetly. The system works silently in the background, eliminating termite colonies without disrupting daily household or business activities.
Safe and Odour-Free
The bait is safe and odourless to humans and pets, ensuring comfort and acceptance in occupied environments.
Effective Colony Elimination
Under typical conditions, Exterminex™ achieves colony elimination within approximately 2 to 12 weeks, depending on colony size, species, and environmental factors.
Precision Targeting
Exterminex™ bait is formulated specifically for subterranean termite species, ensuring targeted control without unnecessary chemical exposure to the surrounding environment.
Monitoring and Early Detection Options
The system includes optional monitoring stations and timber interceptors for early detection of termite foraging activity. Monitoring wood blocks are manufactured in Australia using termite-attractive timber species to improve interception rates around property perimeters.
Why Baiting Matters
Cellulose-based termite baiting systems focus on eliminating the termite colony itself rather than creating temporary chemical barriers. This approach is particularly effective in situations where traditional liquid treatments are impractical or limited, and it significantly reduces the risk of reinfestation over time.
