Advanced Subterranean Termite Protection Using Trelona® ATBS

At ICI Termite & Pest Control, we continually invest in proven, industry‑leading termite control technology to protect your home. For many properties, we utilize the BASF Trelona® ATBS Annual Bait Station System, a highly effective solution designed specifically for subterranean termite colony elimination, not just temporary reduction. pestcontrol.basf.us, trelonahome.com

What Is the Trelona® ATBS System?

Trelona® ATBS (Advance Termite Bait System) is a professional‑grade subterranean termite baiting system developed by BASF, one of the most respected names in pest control research. The system uses inground bait stations strategically placed around your home, creating active feeding sites that termites locate naturally as they forage. pestcontrol.basf.us

These stations contain Trelona® Compressed Termite Bait, which uses the active ingredient Novaluron, a non‑repellent insect growth regulator that targets termites at the colony level. trelonahome.com

How Trelona® Eliminates Subterranean Termites

Unlike liquid barrier treatments that rely on soil absorption, Trelona® works by leveraging termite behavior.

• Worker termites find the bait stations while searching for food.
• They consume the bait and share it with the rest of the colony through natural feeding behavior.
• Novaluron disrupts the termites’ ability to molt, an essential process for survival.
• Over time, the entire colony collapses, resulting in long‑term structural protection. [trelonahome.com]

This slow‑acting, non‑repellent approach allows termites to continue spreading the bait before any mortality occurs, which is critical for complete colony elimination rather than surface‑level control. trelonahome.com

Benefits of Trelona® ATBS for Homeowners

•  Faster Termite Discovery

The Trelona® ATBS station features a larger design with vertical soil‑contact slots, allowing termites to locate the system significantly faster than traditional bait stations in university‑documented studies. trelonahome.com

• Annual Inspections

Unlike many baiting systems that require multiple inspections per year, Trelona® ATBS is labeled for once‑annual professional inspections, reducing disruption to homeowners while maintaining continuous protection. pestcontrol.basf.us

• Environmentally Responsible Protection

Because the bait is secured underground and highly targeted, Trelona® minimizes environmental exposure and avoids the broad application of liquid termiticides around the home when appropriate. trelonahome.com

• Ongoing Colony Protection

Trelona® ATBS doesn’t just deter termites—it works to eliminate active colonies and defend against future invasions when monitored and maintained by professionals. trelonahome.com

When ICI May Recommend Trelona® ATBS

Our licensed termite specialists may recommend Trelona® ATBS when:

• Continuous monitoring and long‑term protection are preferred
• Soil conditions are not ideal for liquid treatment alone
• A non‑repellent, low‑impact solution is desired
• Active termite colonies have been detected nearby
• As part of a combined termite management plan

In some cases, Trelona® ATBS may be used alone or in conjunction with other BASF termite products to provide customized protection based on your property layout and risk level. pest-contr...asf.com.au
