Termite Treatment Options Blacktown NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

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 called white ants they are resilient and consistent, being found, typically, in every 3rd property.

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

Baiting or Cleaning Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific locations around your home and as soon as termite activity is found, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a percentage is needed. Termites ingest the bait and carry it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Alternative Is:

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

To Apply Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in plagued wood or directly onto termite tracks. Using a little puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested wood, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust leaving and to decrease disturbance of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their normal activities long enough to move the Termidor Dust to unwary termites within the nest. It will typically take 3-6 weeks for the nest to be affected by the dust.

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

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

2nd Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred option for eradicating termite problems. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the construction style of your home and can be discussed with the specialist 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 perimeters.
• External wall perimeters.
• Implementation 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 generally prefer to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and therefore increases the likelihood of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

Concrete perimeters are drilled at roughly 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if absolutely nothing occurred.

These locations could include:.

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

There Are Two Main Kind Of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by producing a termite poisonous barrier around a house. The treated locations end up being a no-go zone for termites. In order to work correctly, these termiticides need to be applied in an unbroken zone around the structures. This can be hard to accomplish due to the 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 unable to identify that an area has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated area. When the termites go through the termiticide, they make contact with the active ingredient, return to the nest and infest the unwary termites, which will lead to their extermination.

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

Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific locations around your home and as soon as termite activity is found, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a percentage is needed. Termites ingest the bait and carry it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The monitoring and baiting is a complete system that includes

• Positioning monitoring stations into the ground around the entire external boundary of the property.
• 
  Positioning unique stations inside the structure if there are active termites.

Termite baiting systems work effectively, and as soon as a colony is gotten rid of or managed, the termite monitoring stations will continue to protect your home against new termite activity. The approximated time of nest elimination is 3– 6 months.

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