A termite inspection 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 consistent, being found, usually, in every third property.

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

Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

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

The Other Initial Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the first phase 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 very same material used as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued lumber or straight onto termite trails. Using a little puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested lumber, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust leaving and to reduce disruption of the termites.

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

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

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

Second Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored choice for getting rid of termite problems. However, soil treatment does depend on the construction style of your home and can be discussed with the professional on the day of the termite inspection.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil locations 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 woods is greater than 400-mm the soiled locations within the subfloor are trenched and dealt with. In any case we typically 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 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 2 Main Types of Soil Treatments:.

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

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to find that an area has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated location. 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 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 design.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are placed in specific locations around your home and as soon as termite activity is discovered, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical which contains an active component, so efficient that only a percentage is required. 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 involves

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

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

Most of the times your home is the most pricey item you may own; don’t let it be eaten away by termites!
