Termite.com.au FAQ: Is DIY Termite Baiting worth the RISK? FAQ: Is DIY termite baiting worth the RISK?About Termite Baiting in General - updated December 2017A successful termite baiting program depends on sufficient quantity of being consumed by the termites. Unfortunately there is NO guarantee another nest is not destroying timbers inside the house.If 'live' termites are found in the house or surrounds - a termite bait can be attached directly to the termite activity area - and it is easy to detect how much has been consumed. If you are in these circumstances and are considering DIY termite baiting, then at least get a Termite Inspection Report to AS:3660 by a professional pest control company. The cost varies but is usually $250 to $350 for an average size home. This will greatly assist the DIY Home-Owner to assess their chances of sucessfully eradicating the termites. It could be the best investment you ever make.HOWEVER if NO live termites have been found then DIY plastic stations with timber (food) therein are available for the DIY Home-Owner to place around their home, on or in the ground, to 'monitor' for termite activity.Beware - termites travel from a hidden central colony nest by tunnelling through the soil.

They are blind and may never find the little DIY plastic stations, in which case it will be a total waste of money.Your home is a much bigger object for the termites to find and infest timbers therein. The risk of on-going termite damage to the timbers in the house, may well be too large for the average DIY home-owner. In any case, we strongly recommend you first obtain a Termite Inspection Report to AS:3660 from a professional pest control company.Even if termites find a plastic in-ground station and infest the timber therein - if the termites are DISTURBED by periodic inspections or adding bait - the termites may permanently abandon the plastic station - with insufficient bait consumed.
