Fact: Many pre-purchase termite inspections cause sales to fall through or prices to come down. Your Green Termite Bait System should greatly reduce the chances of this happening which means that it should pay for itself many times over. Your bait system not only improves the value of your home when you decide to sell, but it may well save you from expensive termite damage in the present. YOU REAP THE BENEFIT TWICE. |

Before and after photos of a typical Green Termite Bait. Note the "activated and treated" bait on the right. Termiticide is easily added by your professional termite manager after the termites drop in for a feed.
Beware of imitations... look for the Green Termite Bait Systems label on the top of the bait.

During the heat of the space race in the 1960s, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided it needed a ballpoint pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of $US1 million. The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on earth.
The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil.
Please Consider:
You'll love our user friendly Ec2c Termite Window. No guessing... ever! Simply see for yourself if there is termite activity any time you stroll past your baits. Mud in the window tells you the termites have arrived.
It's so easy to see if you've got the little blighters! Just look for the mud that the termites use to block out the light. Simple!
The Green Termite Bait System is the only commercially available system that is "ant-resistant". It is completely sealed from other pests. Only termites (white ants) can eat their way in. Hence it is a far superior system than those other 'plastic style baits' that tend to fill up with black ants, brown ants, green ants, spiders, worms, dirt etc.
Important Fact:
We are emphasizing this point because it is vital. If you are considering purchasing ANY other termite baiting system for your home. A complex plastic bait such as Exterra® or Sentricon® will more than likely fill up with regular garden ants. That's a waste of your money because termites will avoid it!
Termites will avoid a bait that is full of ants.
You need to know this very important fact if you are serious about buying a termite bait system. It is critical to the success of any termite bait system! Why? Because non-targeted pests entering a termite bait will repel termites. You don't want termites going around the bait and into your house. The first purpose of a termite bait is to intercept termites. So save your money and don't waste it on any bait that isn't 100% ant-resistant.
Beware! Not all bait systems are created equal.
High price does NOT necessarily = Quality
The expensive plastic bait on the left is full of black ants. The low cost Green Termite Bait (earlier model) on the right has intercepted the termites, been treated with termiticide and it is only a matter of time before the nest is dead.
Green Termite Baits look neat and tidy wherever they are installed.
Just knock them in and screw on the top.
The green colour helps the baits to blend in with your plants or lawn, or if it is covered with foliage, then a flag can be attached to help easily locate it.
They fit flush in the lawn and you can safely mow right over the them.
They can go in coarse gravel.
Or level in gravel paths
so nobody will trip on them.
Baits can easily be installed through concrete and made to look very neat and tidy. The grey drain cover conceals the bait, yet still allows for easy inspection.
Big on Features, small on price:
This little bait is deceptively simple, but there is a whole lot more to it than meets the eye. In fact, you will benefit from many years of extensive tests and trials to get it "just right". Please remember, it's not just the bait but the whole system that sets it apart.

How safe is the Green Termite Bait System for the environment?
Our baits are made from re-growth radiata pine and a tough UV resistant plastic top which secures two tiny clear polycarbonate windows by means of a single screw. They are non-toxic to the environment and the windows and top are reusable as well as recyclable.
The termiticide that we recommend is also very friendly to the environment because we only use extremely low doses that are totally targeted at the termites. There is little if any residual once the operation is completed. It doesn't seem to bother regular ants at all. Safe for worms etc. People and pets etc... Totally safe when used within a Green Termite Bait.
The amount of termiticide applied to an active Green Termite Bait is a very small amount. Usually less than 1mL of liquid concentrate or 1 gram of dust.
To sum up, starting your car in the morning probably does more harm to the environment.

Deciding on a solution for your termite problem.
If you have done some shopping around for termite prevention you will be well aware of the huge differences in solutions and prices. It usually boils down to two choices either:
- A termite baiting system.
- Or a chemical soil treatment around your home.
Making sure you are fully protected.
Both methods mentioned above will usually suit most homes. However, there are some homes that are much better protected by one method over the other. Then there are some other very high risk homes that may be best protected by utilising both methods, or a combination of both methods.
Can anyone guarantee that your termites will be gone for good? Absolutely not!
Anyone suggesting otherwise is misleading you. Here's why. Termite colony elimination with either an effective termite treatment zone or a termite baiting system is common place. Both methods have been proven to work. Logically, new termites are bound to arrive near your home sooner or later. Sometimes they even reinfest an inactive termite nest that has previously been eliminated. Don't be tricked into believing that total termite elimination means permanent termite protection.
Beware of false claims or deceptive wording.
If you are going to choose a termite bait system to help protect your home from termites, then make sure that it truly is reliable. Most plastic bait systems FAIL before they start, simply because they fill up with unwanted ants that are repellent to termites. Only the Green Termite Bait System is ant-resistant.
If you think an expensive chemical treatment zone all around your house is a good option, think again. Most companies will drill hundreds of ugly holes in your concrete so that the chemical can be applied. Not only can these holes potentially devalue your home when you decide to sell it, but most professionals will tell you that it is not the most reliable way to treat the soil under your concrete.
The Australian Standards specifically state that the concrete should be cut and removed so that the soil can be correctly treated. Not only that, but it is usually advisable to replace any unsuitable soil from around the perimeter walls of your home (to the depth of the footings) with a quality soil that can more effectively hold the chemical treatment.
If the concrete is drilled and injected, then nobody really knows whether the chemical is effective or not. Sadly, in many cases it fails and termites get the last laugh. It wasn't the chemical that failed. Rather it was the company that failed to carry out the treatment correctly, or failed to advise you that it is more preferable for your concrete to be cut and removed rather than drilled and injected. And of course if it does fail, you won't find out for some time, and when you do, the company that did the treatment will be long gone or else pointing to clauses in the fine print as to why they are not responsible, when in fact they are!
Now you know the truth.
The choice is yours.
Choosing between a good quality bait system such as the Green Termite Bait System or a quality installed chemical treated zone is difficult. Both work well and some homes will need a combination of both methods. Over a five year period, both methods offer similar protection. Green Termite Baits improve with age. Chemical soil treatments wear off and eventually you need to do it all again from scratch.
Installing a Green Termite Bait System is quick, painless, and unobtrusive. It's value-adding to your home, and reasonably affordable.
On the other hand, installing a chemical soil treatment is pretty messy. Cutting the concrete or drilling holes is no fun; digging up the lawn and garden beds beside your home isn't nice, and the price is usually pretty hard to swallow too.
Don't just take our word for it. Prove it for yourself!
Get Serious - Don't be a victim of termites; and don't be a victim of unscrupulous Termite Management Companies either. Do your home work and avoid wasting your money and risking your home with inferior products. The termite management industry has its fair share of misinformation, con-artists, rip-off merchants and supposed "professionals" who are not as competent as they would like you to believe.
It also has plenty of true professionals. Can you tell the difference?
The Green Termite Bait System was developed by professional pest controllers with many years of experience in the industry. Our product has been tested and proven in over a 1,000 homes across Australia with a success rate of better than 99% at intercepting and destroying termites before they reach your home. Don't pay $2,500 - $5,000 for an inferior termite baiting system just because it looks pretty or sounds good or because your local pestie recommended it. Maybe he is more interested in his profits than in protecting your home.
And don't be fooled by great sounding warranties that simply aren't worth the paper they are written on - don't just believe us - have your solicitor check out the wording on the warranty. Read the fine print, exclusions and conditions - you'll soon see what we are saying.
No hidden clauses.
Now, to be fair we would like to print the sum total of our not so fine, 'fine print' which is clearly printed on the front page of all our full service contracts:
Disclaimer: Green Termite Bait Systems will substantially reduce the risk of termites gaining entry to your property. This is affected by three factors. 1. The number of baits you choose to install. 2. The available areas for correct placement of baits. 3. The frequency of bait inspections. Monthly checks are recommended. Fortnightly if you are north of the Tropic of Capricorn. However, as with all termite risk reduction systems Green Termite BaitsT cannot and should not be relied upon for 100% protection. Regular annual or bi-annual inspections by your respected termite professional are advised as recommended in the Australian Standards. Additional risk reduction measures may be required in certain cases. No warranty or guarantee against termites is offered or inferred by Green Termite Bait Systems or their authorised distributors. Individual Green Termite Baits do come with a 12 month defect warranty and will be replaced FREE of charge if for any reason they crack, split or become unserviceable during the first 12 months. The life expectancy of a Green Termite Bait is 3-5 years depending on the moisture content of the soil. Unlike plastic bodied systems, Green Termite Baits improve with age. This is because termites prefer decaying timber. Copyright of Green Termite Bait Systems 1996-2004. All rights reserved.
