WHAT ARE TERMITE BAIT STATIONS?
Termite bait stations are installed in the soil around your home and designed to intercept foraging subterranean termites. Once activity is detected, termites feed on the bait and transfer it throughout the colony.
Unlike waiting for visible signs of termite damage, bait stations provide a proactive monitoring system designed to detect activity early.
HOW THE TRELONA® SYSTEM WORKS
Trelona® termite bait stations are installed around your home's perimeter to intercept subterranean termites as they forage in the soil. Each station contains a cellulose-based bait that termites readily feed on.
After feeding, termites carry the bait back to the colony and share it with other termites. The active ingredient works throughout the colony, helping reduce and eliminate termite activity over time.
Because termites often remain hidden underground or inside wood, bait stations provide a proactive way to monitor for termite activity and help address problems before significant damage occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Bait Stations
What Are Termite Bait Stations?
Termite bait stations are a preventative termite protection system designed to help eliminate subterranean termite colonies before they can cause significant damage to your home.
The stations are installed in the soil around the structure where termites naturally forage. When worker termites discover a station, they begin feeding on the bait and carry it back to the colony. The active ingredient is then shared throughout the colony, including the queen and other termites, helping eliminate the source of the infestation.
How Often Are Termite Bait Stations Inspected?
Hilbun Pest Control utilizes termite bait stations that contain an active ingredient from day one. Unlike some systems that rely on untreated monitoring stations, our stations are installed with active bait already in place.
We perform annual inspections of the system to ensure the stations remain in good condition and to check for any signs of termite activity. If you ever have concerns between scheduled inspections, our team can arrange an additional service visit.
Do Termite Bait Stations Attract Termites?
No. Termite bait stations do not attract termites from long distances.
The stations contain a cellulose-based material that termites recognize as a food source when they encounter it naturally while foraging underground. The goal is to intercept termites before they discover and begin feeding on your home.
How Long Does It Take Termites to Find a Station?
Every property is different.
The time it takes termites to discover a bait station depends on factors such as termite pressure, colony location, soil conditions, and foraging patterns. Because termite activity occurs underground, there is no way to predict exactly when termites will encounter a station.
Once termites begin feeding, the bait is designed to be transferred throughout the colony.
Can Bait Stations Eliminate an Entire Termite Colony?
Yes.
Modern termite bait stations are specifically designed to eliminate termite colonies. Worker termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony where it is shared with other termites, including the queen. As the active ingredient spreads through the colony, termite populations are reduced until the colony is eliminated.
Are Termite Bait Stations Safe Around Children and Pets?
When professionally installed and maintained, termite bait stations are designed with safety in mind.
The stations are installed below ground level and feature locking lids that help prevent unauthorized access. The bait itself is contained inside enclosed cartridges located within the station. This design helps limit exposure while still allowing termites to access the bait.
As with any pest control product, homeowners should avoid tampering with the stations and allow trained professionals to service them.
How Many Termite Bait Stations Does My Home Need?
The number of stations required depends on the size, shape, and layout of your property.
Hilbun Pest Control follows manufacturer guidelines for proper station spacing and placement. Stations are typically installed around the perimeter of the structure to maximize the likelihood of intercepting foraging termites. During your inspection, we will determine the appropriate number and placement of stations for your specific property.
What Happens If Termites Are Found in a Station?
Finding termites in a station is exactly what the system is designed to do.
If termite feeding activity is discovered during an inspection, our technician will evaluate the station, replace bait cartridges as needed, and inspect the home's interior and exterior for any signs of termite activity.
Our bait cartridges are monitored for consumption, and replacement occurs when feeding reaches established service thresholds. This helps ensure active bait remains available whenever termites are present.
