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 house and as soon as termite activity is found, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical that contains an active component, so reliable that only a percentage is needed. Termites ingest the bait and carry it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the very first stage of a termite treatment as it entails utilizing active termites. Sydney’s Castle Hill Pest Controluse Termidor Dust which is non-repellent and is 95.5% food alpha cellulose, the very same product utilized as the food source in the majority of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued wood or directly onto termite trails. Utilizing 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 leaving and to reduce disruption of the termites.

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

Termite dusting however does not offer an on-going security to a structure from future termite attacks. There might be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are continuously establishing new nests.

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

Second Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred choice for removing termite problems. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the building design of your house and can be discussed with the specialist on the day of the termite examination.

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

• Subfloor.
• 
  Concrete slab borders.
• External wall borders.
• Implementation of soil treatment.

If the distance between the soil and flooring timbers is greater than 400-mm the soiled areas within the subfloor are trenched and treated. In any case we normally prefer to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area protection in the subfloor and therefore increases the likelihood of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

Concrete borders are drilled at approximately 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if 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 2 Main Types of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by producing a termite toxic barrier around a house. The treated areas 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 hard to achieve due to the building and style of your house and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are mostly utilized throughout the pre-construction stage.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to discover that an area has been treated and hence do not avoid the treated location. When the termites go 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 style.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific areas around your house and as soon as termite activity is found, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical that contains an active component, so reliable that only a percentage is needed. Termites ingest the bait and carry it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The tracking and baiting is a complete system that includes

• 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 effectively, and as soon as a nest is removed or managed, the termite tracking stations will continue to protect your house against new termite activity. The approximated time of nest removal is 3– 6 months.

In most cases your house is the most costly item you may own; don’t let it be gnawed by termites!
