To keep your property free of termites you want the best termite treatment installed by the best pest inspector.
There are many forms of termite treatments available here on the Gold Coast. Some are better than others. (And correct installation is as important as the method used.) We constantly see treatments that fall below compliance in ways that compromise your home. That’s why we’re fully trained and licensed for use of…
As a homeowner you can do much to minimise damage from a termite colony. Keep debris away from the house, repair all leaking taps and pipes and keep garden beds clear of the house, but the only way to get rid of termites is through termite control Gold Coast from a qualified and licensed pest inspector.
Richard undergoes regular training to ensure you receive the very best termite protection services, and safest in terms of termite treatment, and prevention. He is well equipped with the very latest in pest removal and control equipment, including thermal imaging and moisture detection systems and is a licenced user of Trelona ATBS Advanced Bait System.
Any decent termite treatment has to start by knowing what and where your termites are. It’s always better if you have no termites but Richard finds evidence of termites in almost every home he visits. That means that even if there are no actual termites present, he knows how and where they came into the home. He can then design the home’s protection accordingly. In rare circumstances he finds infestations that need to be addressed.
Richard will first conduct a thorough inspection of your home. When you choose Richard Eedy as your pest inspector, you hire a man who leaves termites nowhere to hide. Every week he finds evidence of termites others have missed. And that’s because he hunts them, he’s relentless, he’s thorough. Richard will crawl through roof-spaces, under floors, peer in nooks and crannies…go anywhere to be the best termite inspector on the Gold Coast.
The Trelona® Advanced Termite Baiting System (ATBS) represents a new generation in termite management. It combines cutting-edge research into termite behaviour with an advanced bait design to create a highly effective interception and feeding system.
When it comes to termite treatment on the Gold Coast, Termidor remains the gold standard. Unlike traditional treatments, termites can’t detect Termidor in the soil, so they continue to forage freely. Because termites are social insects — with colonies that can number up to two million — they feed and groom one another. Termites that come into contact with Termidor unknowingly transfer it to others through feeding and contact, spreading it throughout the colony.
The result? Complete colony elimination — even termites that never directly encounter the treated soil are affected. Together, Trelona ATBS and Termidor deliver comprehensive, long-lasting protection for your home and property.
Trelona can be used as both a monitoring and active termite control system, and it’s uniquely designed to work seamlessly alongside the trusted Termidor® range of products — a combination that delivers unmatched protection.
Yes. Even with high-quality termite protection in place, annual termite inspections are essential. They ensure the treatment remains intact and detect any new termite activity early, preventing costly damage.
Absolutely. The Trelona ATBS bait stations can be installed around existing homes and structures, providing long-term monitoring and protection without the need for extensive excavation or disturbance.
Trelona ATBS system is unique in termite treatment.
The Trelona system combines the latest research in termite behaviour with an advanced termite bait system to provide a bait station designed for interception and feeding.
This system can be used as a monitoring system and is the only system designed to be used with the Termidor range of products.
When it comes to termite treatment on the Gold Coast Termidor is the most reliable and effective treatment as termites can’t detect it so they continue to forage in the soil around your home. Termites are social insects (keep in mind a termite colony may have up to two million termites) that live together in large colonies and feed and groom each other. So termites that have come into contact with Termidor soon pass it on to others. Even those secondarily affected termites can also pass Termidor on through feeding or contact. The result is, all termites contacted will die.
There are several factors behind choosing this advanced termite bait system.
First of all, this is the most advanced termite bait technology.
Another unique advantage of this system is it can be used along with Termidor Residual Termiticide and Termidor HE High Efficiency Termiticide. These are someof the most popular and renowned names in termite control in Australia since 2002 .
So this trusted technology is now aggregated together with the most advanced termite bait technology. This fortifies Gold Coast homes’ termite control in the most effective manner.
Besides these points, Trelona ATBS possesses an advanced bait matrix technology, which ensures the bait is irresistible to termites.
And finally, this system can be utilized as either a monitoring or active system, which ensures the protection the whole year. This system is also facilitated with a powerful and discrete bait station, which is designed so uniformly which ensures station interception and feeding.
Before the installation process of Trelona ATBS, we will conduct a pest inspection in order to determine what kind of termite management is needed for your home, what would be the remedial steps, and therefore, the most appropriate installation and management plan for your home.
After the inspection period, we will install the ATBS systems by at 3- metre spacings. At that stage we will also identify the desired inspection period, which may vary a range from one up to six-monthly interval, which certainly depends on factors like the level of activity, site risks, and the type of system installed (monitoring or active systems).
The Trelona ATBS has been designed to survive the tough Aussie conditions.
The robust inground bait stations (shown above) have been developed to accelerate interception and encourage feeding.
As a monitoring system, ATBS ensures minimal disturbance during inspection and bait replacement. As an ‘Active on Application’ system, Trelona ATBS holds more bait than any other comparable system.
The image below shows Trelona ATBS compared with is rivals. As you can see, the chance of your ending up with an exhausted bait station (like the one we posted earlier in this article) are significantly reduced when compared with its rivals.
We’ve outlined many reasons why we think that Trelona ATBS is the best termite control solution for Gold Coast homes.

You may also want to check out our post on Termite Barriers. As we explain in the article, the term “termite barrier” is a bit of a misnomer. But we do outline termite measures in greater detail in that article.
There is a science behind good termite treatment. We started this article telling you about the many installations of treatments we see that do not meet compliance. This often happens because pest controllers fail to properly audit the property prior to implementation. We always start with a termite inspection.
Let’s have a look at some of the reasons you want to have an inspection prior to treatment.
Even if you have a current system in place, you should still get an audit of your current risk. As we’ve stated a few times already, pest controllers can’t always be relied on to properly install their termite systems. They also miss obvious signs of termites.
We’ll not only tell you what risk you have, what evidence of termites are present, but also how to mitigate those risks. Our job is to keep your property safe from termites, and that includes educating you and how to reduce your risk.
There are many factors to take into account when considering a termite treatment. Obviously, you need to you that know what termites are present to treat them. But less obvious is how to treat the termites that aren’t present. When installing termite barrier systems such as Trelona ATBS, we’ll take into account the many risk factors, including environmental and the construction of your home.
