When Is Termite Treatment Required?
Termite treatment is only required when active termites are found or when an inspection identifies a high-risk situation. Following a professional termite inspection, the most suitable treatment method can be recommended based on the construction type and severity of activity.

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.
Chemical Treatments we use for Termites in Perth
Chemical termite barriers are commonly used for Perth homes built on concrete slabs or with surrounding paving, where termites attempt to enter from the soil below.
Chemical termite treatments create a continuous treated zone around the home to block termite access and eliminate colonies. This method is one of the most effective long-term protection options available.
How Chemical Treatments Are Applied
Chemical applications are performed by:
- Drilling holes approximately every 30 centimetres around the perimeter of concrete and paving areas and injecting termiticide into each hole.
- Where soil is present, a trenching method is used, allowing the chemical to be applied directly into the ground before the trench is backfilled.
This creates a complete barrier around the home designed to stop termites entering or moving through the treated zone.
Types of Chemicals Used
Repellent Termiticides (Bifenthrin)
Non-repellent chemicals are undetectable to termites. This means they pass through the treated zone without realising, pick up the chemical on their bodies, and carry it back to the colony. As the termites groom and interact with each other, the chemical spreads throughout the nest, eventually eliminating the entire colony.
Repellent chemicals such as Bifenthrin work by creating a barrier termites can detect. If they come into contact with the treated area, they die quickly. This is effective for long-term exclusion and is often used in preventative barrier systems.
Termite Treatments for Live Termites in Perth
When live termites are found during an inspection, treatment must be carried out immediately to prevent further damage. The most effective method depends on where the termites are located and how active the infestation is.
1. Powder Treatments
Powder is applied directly to active termite workings using a specialised duster. The fine particles cling to termites as they move through the galleries, allowing the product to spread throughout the colony. Powder treatments are ideal for accessible areas where termite activity is clearly visible.
2. Foaming (Ideal for Stud Walls)
Foam treatments are used when termites are located inside concealed wall cavities. The foaming agent expands within the timber or void, filling the galleries and delivering fast, effective coverage. This method is especially useful for stud walls, door frames, and other tight spaces where liquid treatments cannot reach.
3. Exterra Bait Box
For significant or hard-to-reach infestations, an Exterra bait box can be installed directly over active termite workings. This allows termites to feed freely on the bait, which they then transport back to the nest. The baiting process eliminates the entire colony without disturbing the structure of the home.

Types of termites we treat
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are the most destructive termite species found in Perth. They live underground and travel into buildings through soil and concealed entry points, feeding on structural timber while remaining largely hidden from view.
Dampwood Termites
Dampwood termites are attracted to timber with high moisture content and are commonly found in decaying wood, leaking structures, or areas with poor drainage. They are less likely to infest dry homes but indicate underlying moisture issues.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites live entirely within dry timber and do not require contact with soil. They can infest roof timbers, furniture, and framing, often going unnoticed until damage or fine pellet-like droppings appear.
Termite FAQ’S
We charge the following fees for termite inspections in Perth:
- Termite inspections for a concrete slab home from $176
- Termite inspections for a timber floor home from $198
The number of termite treatments needed depends on the severity and location of the infestation. In most cases, one main treatment—such as powder, foam, or baiting—is enough to eliminate the active colony. Follow-up visits are usually carried out to monitor activity and confirm the colony has been fully removed. If the infestation is large or found in multiple areas, additional treatments or a complete perimeter barrier may be recommended for long-term protection.
