Termite Treatment Options

A termite assessment is the primary step in termite management

Termites and the termite swarm have become part of our natural world for millions of years. Also commonly known as white ants they are resilient and relentless, being found, on average, in every third property.

Australian conditions are particularly appropriate for termites. The Australian standard recommends that a termite assessment be performed every 12 months and more often in high risk locations.

Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in specific locations around your home and once termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a small amount is required. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The Other Initial Option Is:

Termite dusting is the first phase of a termite treatment as it involves using active termites. Sydney’s Castle Hill Pest Controluse Termidor Dust which is non-repellent and is 95.5% food alpha cellulose, the exact same product used as the food source in the majority of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in infested timber or straight onto termite tracks. Utilizing a little puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested timber, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust escaping and to lower disturbance of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their normal activities long enough to move the Termidor Dust to unsuspecting termites within the colony. It will usually take 3-6 weeks for the colony to be impacted by the dust.

Termite dusting however does not offer an on-going security to a structure from future termite attacks. There may be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are continuously developing new nests.

This is why a termite soil treatment is vital following termite dusting.

2nd Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred alternative for eradicating termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the building and construction style of your home and can be discussed with the service technician on the day of the termite assessment.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil locations in which the structure is in contact with consisting of:

  • Subfloor.

  • Concrete slab borders.
  • External wall borders.
  • Execution of soil treatment.

If the distance between the soil and flooring woods is greater than 400-mm the soiled locations within the subfloor are trenched and dealt with. In any case we usually prefer to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and therefore increases the probability of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

Concrete borders are drilled at around 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if nothing took place.

These locations could consist of:.

  • Patios.
  • Courses.
  • Garages.
  • Fireplaces.
  • Bathrooms.
  •  Laundries.
  • External Perimeter Walls.
  • Soiled locations will be trenched or rodded.
  • Concrete locations will be drilled.

There Are 2 Main Kind Of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by producing a termite harmful barrier around a home. The treated locations end up being a no-go zone for termites. In order to work properly, these termiticides need to be applied in an unbroken zone around the structures. This can be challenging to accomplish due to the building and construction and style of your home and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are mostly used during the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to identify that a location has been treated and hence do not avoid the treated area. When the termites pass through the termiticide, they make contact with the active ingredient, return to the colony and infest the unsuspecting termites, which will result in their extermination.

Castle Hill Pest Control provides a 5-year warranty on non-repellent treatment. Conditions do apply and are subject to the house structure and style.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in specific locations around your home and once termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a small amount is required. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The tracking and baiting is a complete system that involves

  • Placing tracking stations into the ground around the whole external boundary of the property.

  • Placing unique stations inside the structure if there are active termites.

Termite baiting systems work extremely well, and once a nest is gotten rid of or controlled, the termite tracking stations will continue to safeguard your home against new termite activity. The approximated time of colony removal is 3– 6 months.

In most cases your home is the most pricey item you may own; do not let it be gnawed by termites!
