Termite Treatment Options Blacktown NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

A termite evaluation 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 referred to as white ants they are resilient and persistent, being found, on average, in every 3rd property.

Australian conditions are especially ideal for termites. The Australian standard suggests that a termite evaluation be carried out every 12 months and regularly in high risk areas.

Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

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

The Other Initial Alternative Is:

Termite dusting is the very 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 exact same product used as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

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

The termites will continue togo about their regular activities long enough to transfer the Termidor Dust to unsuspecting termites within the colony. It will typically take 3-6 weeks for the colony to be impacted by the dust.

Termite dusting however does not provide an on-going security to a building from future termite attacks. There might be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are constantly establishing 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 preferred alternative for eradicating termite problems. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the construction style of your house and can be discussed with the service technician on the day of the termite evaluation.

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

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

If the range between the soil and flooring timbers 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 for that reason increases the probability of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

Concrete boundaries are drilled at approximately 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if absolutely nothing took place.

These areas might include:.

• 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 producing a termite hazardous barrier around a house. The treated areas end up being 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 achieve due to the construction and design of your house and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are mostly used throughout the pre-construction stage.

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 location. When the termites go through the termiticide, they make contact with the active component, return to the colony and infest the unsuspecting termites, which will result in 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 & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are placed in particular areas around your house and as soon as termite activity is discovered, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so efficient that only a small amount is required. Termites ingest 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 includes

• Putting monitoring stations into the ground around the whole external perimeter of the property.
• 
  Putting special 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 controlled, the termite monitoring stations will continue to protect your house against new termite activity. The estimated time of colony elimination is 3– 6 months.

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