How the Exterra termite baiting system works

Exterra has two types of baiting systems: in-ground stations (external/outdoors) and above-ground stations (internal/indoors).

In-ground stations – This is Exterra’s external bait system that’s installed around the perimeter of the property, every three meters. Termites naturally travel through the ground in hundreds of tunnels, and then they pass up through mud tubes making their way into the property in an attempt to find food sources (timber)

What the system does is intercept termites in the stations and stop them from reaching the home.

The Exterra baiting stations contain a product called Requiem, a substance that contains cellulose. It is a common known fact that termites eat wood, but the specific thing that they are after is actually the cellulose within the wood. Once in contact with Requiem, (which also contains moisture), the termites will start consuming it in place of timber. They will then naturally feed it back throughout the colony over one to three months, which in turn kills off the entire
