Termite Treatment with Trelona® Bait Stations on Long Island
Get Long-Term Termite Protection with Trelona® Bait Stations
Serving Nassau County | Western Suffolk County
Termite activity is consistent across Long Island, especially around foundations, soil lines, and areas that stay moist throughout the year. Much of it takes place outside the structure, which is why it often goes unnoticed without a proper inspection.
At EM Pest Control, our licensed termite technicians install Trelona® ATBS bait stations to monitor and control termite activity at the source, helping protect residential and commercial properties over time.
Every installation is planned around the structure, soil access, and layout of the property. We take an inspection‑first approach so stations are placed where they’re needed and the system works the way it’s intended.
What Are Trelona® ATBS Termite Bait Stations?
Trelona® ATBS bait stations are low-profile stations installed in the soil around the exterior of a structure to monitor and control termite activity over time. Each station is designed to attract termites as they move through the soil, allowing us to identify activity early and respond before it becomes a larger issue.
When activity is found, bait is introduced so termites feed on it and carry it back to the colony. Over time, this helps reduce and eliminate the source of the activity. The system works outside the structure, so there’s no trenching or drilling required, making it a straightforward option for Long Island homes and commercial buildings.

How Trelona® Bait Stations Work
Termites move through the soil around a structure as they search for food. As they travel, they come across the stations placed around the foundation and start feeding in the station. This helps us confirm activity early and understand where termites are moving around the property.
When activity is found, bait is added to the station. The termites continue feeding and carry it back with them, spreading it within the colony. Over time, this helps reduce the population and eliminate the source of the activity while the stations remain in place to monitor conditions going forward.
How we approach it:
Stations are placed based on layout, soil access, and conditions around the property
Activity is monitored over time, not treated once and left alone
Bait is added only when needed, based on actual termite activity
Placement is adjusted if conditions change or new activity appears
The system stays in place long-term to continue monitoring and help prevent future activity
Why Trelona® Bait Stations Work Well for Your Property
Trelona® bait stations are designed to work with how termite activity develops around a structure, providing a way to monitor and manage activity over time based on actual conditions at the property rather than relying on a one-time treatment.
Why this approach works well:
No trenching or drilling around the foundation
Minimal impact to landscaping, patios, and walkways
Suitable for both residential and commercial properties
Stations are installed in the ground with a secured cap and serviced by a technician
Allows ongoing monitoring instead of a one-time treatment
Can be maintained and adjusted over time as conditions change
Backed by BASF Research
Trelona® ATBS bait stations are developed by BASF and supported by manufacturer research on how termites locate and feed within bait systems. These findings help guide how the system is designed and how it’s used in the field.
Our approach is to apply that system based on real property conditions—placement, soil access, and ongoing monitoring—so it works properly over time.
What the manufacturer highlights:
Termites can locate stations as they move through the soil around a structure
Stations are designed for ongoing monitoring and maintenance
The system is built to manage termite activity over time

Frequently Asked Questions
Stations are checked based on activity and conditions at the property. Some situations require more frequent monitoring, while others can be maintained on a regular yearly schedule. The goal is to keep the system working and adjust as needed.
The number of stations depends on the layout of the structure and the conditions around the property. Most systems are installed around the full perimeter so termites traveling through the soil come across the stations before reaching the structure. The exact number and placement are determined during the inspection.
Yes. Every property is different, so we start with an inspection to see where termites are active and how the system should be set up around the structure.
Termites typically locate the bait within days, and colony elimination begins as they share the bait with other termites.
Not seeing termites doesn’t mean they aren’t present. Activity often happens in the soil or inside structural areas where it’s not visible. Bait stations are commonly used as a preventive measure to monitor for activity and respond early.
Yes, the bait is securely placed underground, ensuring no direct contact with children and pets. The system minimizes environmental impact by targeting termites specifically, without harming other plants, animals, or beneficial insects or requiring extensive soil treatments.
No. You need to be trained and licensed to use Trelona termite bait stations.
The cost depends on how many stations are needed and how the property is laid out. Every home and business is different, so we start with a quick inspection to see the layout, access around the foundation, and how the system should be set up. From there, we can give a clear recommendation and exact pricing based on what’s actually needed.
