Termite Treatment Options Blacktown NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

A termite assessment is the initial step in termite management

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

Australian conditions are especially suitable for termites. The Australian standard recommends that a termite assessment be performed every 12 months and regularly 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 house and once termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used 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 requires 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 used as the food source in the majority of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in infested timber or directly onto termite routes. 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 getting away and to minimize disruption of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their typical 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 nevertheless does not provide an on-going protection to a structure from future termite attacks. There may 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 important following termite dusting.

2nd Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred choice for removing termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the building and construction design of your house 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 perimeters.
• External wall perimeters.
• Execution of soil treatment.

If the range between the soil and flooring lumbers is greater than 400-mm the soiled locations within the subfloor are trenched and dealt with. In any case we normally prefer 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 perimeters are drilled at roughly 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if nothing occurred.

These locations might consist of:.

• Patios.
• Paths.
• Garages.
• Fireplaces.
• Bathrooms.
•  Laundries.
• External Perimeter 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 developing a termite hazardous barrier around a home. The treated locations 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 challenging to accomplish due to the building and construction and style of your house 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 unable to discover that an area has been treated and hence 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 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 & Monitoring Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific locations around your house and once termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used 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 monitoring and baiting is a complete system that involves

• Placing monitoring stations into the ground around the whole external perimeter of the property.
• 
  Placing special stations inside the structure if there are active termites.

Termite baiting systems work very well, and once a nest is eliminated or managed, the termite monitoring stations will continue to safeguard your house against new termite activity. The approximated time of colony removal is 3– 6 months.

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