Chemical Treatments we use for Termites in Stirling
Chemical termite solutions establish a continuous protective barrier surrounding your property to prevent termite entry and destroy existing colonies. This approach represents one of the most reliable long-lasting defence systems on the market.
Application Methods for Chemical Treatments
Chemical solutions are installed through:
- Creating drill points at roughly 30-centimetre intervals along concrete and paved perimeters, then applying termiticide through each access point.
- In exposed soil locations, a trenching technique is employed, enabling direct application of the chemical into the earth before refilling the excavation.
This establishes a full protective perimeter around your property engineered to prevent termites from penetrating or crossing the treated area.
Chemical Products We Apply
Non-Repellent – active ingredient is Fipronil
Non-repellent formulas remain invisible to termites. This allows them to traverse the treated area unknowingly, collecting the chemical on their exterior, and transporting it into the colony. Through grooming and physical contact between nest members, the formula distributes across the population, ultimately destroying the complete colony.
Repellent – active ingredient is Bifenthrin
Repellent formulas like Bifenthrin function by establishing a detectable barrier for termites. Upon contact with the treated perimeter, they experience rapid mortality. This proves highly effective for sustained protection and is commonly applied in preventative defence installations.
EXTERRA Baiting Systems & How They Work
Information below provided from our supplier Xterra
1
1 EXTERRA starts in the ground…
The first step of using EXTERRA is to install In-ground Stations around your property where termites are likely to be foraging for food. The Stations contain eucalypt timber interceptors that numerous, independent, studies have shown are the termites preferred food source.
2
2.or under the concrete…
If your property is surrounded by concrete, then the special EXTERRA In-concrete Station is used. This has a stainless steel cap that seals flush with the pathway.
3
3.and inside your home FOR QUICK RESULTS.
EXTERRA Above-ground Stations are the preferred approach when termites are already in your home. REQUIEM Termite Bait is placed in the safe and sealed Station when it is installed. Above-ground Stations speed up the process of colony elimination. After the termite colony is eliminated, the Above-ground Stations are removed.

4. When the termites are intercepted
Termites are easily detected in the EXTERRA Stations. The unique (patented) design of the EXTERRA Station allows for termites to be seen without disturbing them. This is very important. And the termites are not disturbed when the REQUIEM Termite Bait is added either.
5
5.and now the REQUIEM Termite Bait goes to work.
REQUIEM Termite Bait is added without disturbing the termites. This is vital to achieve quick and consistent results. REQUIEM is highly palatable to termites and they readily consume it in preference to timber. In fact, local studies show that once termites start feeding on REQUIEM they stop feeding on the timbers in your home! REQUIEM is also non-toxic to you and your pets.

6. Termites can’t resist REQUIEM, leading to the colony’s quick demise.
The termites feed on the REQUIEM and take it back to the colony where it is fed slowly throughout the entire colony. Since the termites die gradually, they do not associate the colony’s demise with the consumption of REQUIEM. This ensures that the entire colony is eliminated.
7
7. The colony is eliminated.
Any remaining REQUIEM is removed. Fresh timber interceptors are placed in the In-ground Stations, and the Above-ground Stations are removed. To protect you against the constant threat from new termite colonies or other established colonies, the EXTERRA System works on an ongoing process of ‘Peace of Mind’ monitoring, baiting and eliminating.
Termite Treatments for Live Termites in Stirling
When active termites are detected during your assessment, prompt intervention is essential to stop ongoing damage. We provide three proven treatment approaches based on the site and extent of the colony presence.
1. Powder Treatments
Powder is distributed directly onto live termite pathways using a dedicated application tool. The microscopic particles adhere to termites as they navigate the tunnels, enabling the substance to transfer across the colony. Powder applications work best in reachable locations where termite presence is readily observable.
2. Foaming (Perfect for Stud Walls)
Foam applications are deployed when termites inhabit hidden wall spaces. The expanding foam penetrates the timber or cavity, saturating the tunnel network and providing rapid, thorough distribution. This technique proves particularly valuable for stud walls, door jambs, and other confined areas where liquid applications cannot penetrate.
3. Exterra Bait Box
For substantial or difficult-to-access colonies, an Exterra bait station can be positioned directly above active termite galleries. This enables termites to consume the bait material freely, which they subsequently carry into the nest. The baiting system destroys the complete colony while avoiding disruption to your home’s structure.

Termite FAQ’S
Our pricing for termite inspections in Stirling is as follows:
- Concrete slab home inspections starting at $176
- Timber floor home inspections starting at $198
Subterranean termites are the primary species encountered in Stirling. We also occasionally identify Dampwood and Drywood varieties. For comprehensive information about termites, visit the Wikipedia termite reference page.
Treatment frequency varies based on infestation scope and site conditions. Typically, a single primary treatment—using powder, foam, or bait systems—proves sufficient to eradicate the active colony. Subsequent inspections are generally scheduled to verify activity levels and ensure complete colony elimination. For extensive or multi-location infestations, supplementary treatments or a comprehensive perimeter barrier system may be suggested to ensure ongoing protection.
