Stations do not require a monitoring phase. Exterra uses a two-phase approach: stations initially contain Eucalyptus timber monitoring material; when termite activity is detected, monitoring material is replaced with Requiem bait. Sentricon eliminates the detection-to-bait delay but has a higher station cost. Both are registered and effective in Brisbane conditions.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are monitoring fees required after installation?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Annual monitoring visits are required to maintain the baiting system and its warranty. Monitoring visits involve inspecting all stations, recording any activity, replenishing bait where consumed, and producing a service report. The monitoring fee is $480-$680 per year. Discontinuing monitoring allows stations to run out of bait and removes the ongoing protection.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is a baiting system better than a Termidor barrier?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Neither is universally better. Termidor barriers provide faster protection, lower total cost over 8-10 years, and require no ongoing annual fees. Baiting systems require no drilling to existing concrete, suit properties where soil disturbance is undesirable, and provide year-round monitoring as an added benefit. For properties with active termites and immediate protection needs, Termidor is generally the faster and more cost-effective option. See our barriers page for a full comparison.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can baiting systems be used when active termites are already present?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, but with an important qualification. When active termites are present inside the structure, bait stations alone may be too slow to address the colony before further structural damage occurs. We typically recommend treating the active colony with foam injection or direct colony treatment first, then installing a baiting system for ongoing protection. The inspection report confirms which approach is appropriate for the specific infestation.\"}}]}]}<\/script>\n\n<div class=\"rpc-tbt\">\n<span class=\"da\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Termite baiting systems in Brisbane use in-ground stations to monitor for termite activity and deliver bait that workers carry back to eliminate the colony. Systems include Sentricon AlwaysActive, Exterra, and Trelona. No drilling to existing concrete. Installation $2,800-$4,500. Annual monitoring $480-$680. Colony elimination takes 3-12 weeks after bait uptake.<\/span>\n\n<div style=\"background:var(--bg2);border-bottom:1px solid var(--border)\"><div class=\"wrap\"><nav class=\"bc\" aria-label=\"Breadcrumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/\">Home<\/a><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M9 18l6-6-6-6\"\/><\/svg><a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/\">Pests<\/a><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M9 18l6-6-6-6\"\/><\/svg><a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/termites\/\">Termites<\/a><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M9 18l6-6-6-6\"\/><\/svg><span style=\"color:var(--txt)\">Baiting<\/span><\/nav><\/div><\/div>\n\n<section class=\"hero\" aria-labelledby=\"tbt-h1\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"hero-in\">\n    <div>\n      <span class=\"badge rv\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.75\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"\/><path d=\"M2 12h20\"\/><\/svg>Sentricon &middot; Exterra &middot; Trelona &middot; No Drilling to Concrete<\/span>\n      <h1 class=\"h1 rv d1\" id=\"tbt-h1\">Termite Baiting Systems <span class=\"g\">Brisbane<\/span><\/h1>\n      <p class=\"sub rv d2\">In-ground bait stations installed around the perimeter.

For systems with a monitoring phase (Exterra), termite detection in stations takes 2-8 weeks first. Total time from installation to confirmed colony elimination is typically 2-4 months. Sentricon AlwaysActive and Trelona skip the monitoring phase as bait is available from day one.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">How much does a termite baiting system cost in Brisbane?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Installation costs $2,800-$4,500 depending on property perimeter and number of stations required. Annual monitoring costs $480-$680 per year from year two onwards. The ongoing monitoring fee is required to maintain the system and its warranty. See our termite pricing page for a full breakdown including the long-term cost comparison with Termidor barriers.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">What is the difference between Sentricon and Exterra?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Sentricon AlwaysActive contains active noviflumuron bait from day one, with no monitoring phase before bait is available. Exterra uses a two-phase approach: Eucalyptus timber monitoring stakes attract termites first, then Requiem bait is inserted once activity is detected. Sentricon removes the detection-to-bait delay but has a higher station cost. Both are effective and well-established in Brisbane conditions.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">Are monitoring fees required every year?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Yes. Annual monitoring visits are required to maintain the system and its warranty. Monitoring visits inspect all stations, replenish consumed bait, and produce a written service report. Discontinuing monitoring allows stations to run out of bait and eliminates ongoing protection. The monitoring fee ($480-$680\/yr) is the system's ongoing operational cost.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">Is a baiting system better than a Termidor barrier?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Neither is universally better. Termidor barriers cost less over 8-10 years (no annual fees), act faster when active termites are present, and require no ongoing maintenance visits. Baiting systems require no concrete drilling, suit properties with established paving where drilling is undesirable, and provide continuous year-round monitoring as an added benefit.

We typically recommend treating the active colony with foam injection or direct Termidor application first to stop active damage, then installing a baiting system for ongoing protection. The inspection determines which approach is appropriate.<\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"margin-top:20px;display:flex;gap:12px;flex-wrap:wrap\" class=\"rv\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/termites\/\" style=\"font-size:13.5px;color:var(--g);font-weight:600;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:5px\">Termite control overview <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/termites\/barriers\/\" style=\"font-size:13.5px;color:var(--g);font-weight:600;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:5px\">Termidor barriers <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/pests\/termites\/inspections\/\" style=\"font-size:13.5px;color:var(--g);font-weight:600;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:5px\">Termite inspections <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"cta\" aria-label=\"Book termite baiting system Brisbane\">\n  <div class=\"wrap cta-in\">\n    <div class=\"cta-txt\"><h2>Termite Baiting System.
