Termite Treatment Options

A termite assessment is the primary step in termite management

Termites and the termite swarm have belonged to our natural world for millions of years. Also commonly called white ants they are resilient and relentless, being found, on average, in every 3rd property.

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

Baiting or Dusting 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 once termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so effective that only a small amount is required. Termites ingest the bait and bring it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Choice 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 same material used as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued wood or directly onto termite routes. 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 minimize 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 generally take 3-6 weeks for the nest to be impacted by the dust.

Termite dusting however does not provide an on-going defense 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 Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred option for removing termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the construction design of your home and can be discussed with the 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 range between the soil and flooring woods is greater than 400-mm the soiled locations within the subfloor are trenched and treated. In any case we normally choose to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and therefore increases the possibility of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

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

These locations could consist of:.

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

There Are 2 Main Types of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by producing a termite poisonous barrier around a house. The treated locations become 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 difficult to attain due to the construction and design of your home and if there is concrete against your house. Repellent termiticides are primarily used during the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to discover that an area has been treated and thus do not avoid the treated area. When the termites travel through the termiticide, they make contact with the active component, 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 design.

Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems.

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

The monitoring and baiting is a complete system that involves

  • Placing monitoring stations into the ground around the entire 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 colony is eliminated or managed, the termite monitoring stations will continue to protect your home against new termite activity. The estimated time of nest removal is 3– 6 months.
