Baiting or Cleaning Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific areas around your home and when termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a small amount is required. Termites consume the bait and carry it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the first stage 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 same material utilized as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in infested timber or straight onto termite tracks. Using 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 leaving and to minimize disruption of the termites.

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

Termite dusting nevertheless does not provide an on-going protection to a building from future termite attacks. There might be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are continuously developing new nests.

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

Second Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored choice for removing termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the building and construction style of your home and can be discussed with the specialist on the day of the termite inspection.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil areas in which the structure is in contact with including:

• Subfloor.
• 
  Concrete slab perimeters.
• External wall perimeters.
• Application of soil treatment.

If the range between the soil and flooring lumbers is greater than 400-mm the soiled areas within the subfloor are trenched and dealt with. In any case we normally choose to treat the whole of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and therefore increases the possibility 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 nothing occurred.

These areas could consist of:.

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

There Are Two Main Kind Of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by developing a termite hazardous barrier around a home. The treated areas end up being a no-go zone for termites. In order to work correctly, these termiticides require to be applied in an unbroken zone around the foundations. This can be tough to attain due to the building and construction and style of your home and if there is concrete against your house. Repellent termiticides are primarily utilized during the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are unable to identify that a location has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated area. When the termites travel through the termiticide, they make contact with the active ingredient, return to the colony 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 & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific areas around your home and when termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a small amount is required. Termites consume the bait and carry it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The tracking and baiting is a complete system that involves

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

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

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