Termite Treatment Options

A termite assessment is the initial step in termite management

Baiting or Cleaning Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in specific areas around your home and when termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a percentage is needed. Termites consume the bait and carry it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Alternative Is:

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

To Apply Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in infested wood or directly onto termite routes. 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 minimize disturbance of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their regular activities long enough to move the Termidor Dust to unwary 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 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 constantly establishing brand-new nests.

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

2nd Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred choice for getting rid of termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the construction design of your home and can be discussed with the specialist on the day of the termite assessment.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil areas 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 woods is greater than 400-mm the soiled areas within the subfloor are trenched and dealt with. In any case we typically 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 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 creating a termite toxic barrier around a home. The treated areas become a no-go zone for termites. In order to work properly, these termiticides need to be applied in an unbroken zone around the foundations. This can be tough to achieve due to the construction and style of your home and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are mostly utilized during the pre-construction stage.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to spot that an area has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated area. When the termites go through the termiticide, they make contact with the active ingredient, return to the colony 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 style.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in specific areas around your home and when termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a percentage is needed. 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 includes

  • Positioning tracking stations into the ground around the whole external boundary of the property.

  • Positioning special stations inside the structure if there are active termites.

Termite baiting systems work effectively, and when a colony is eliminated or managed, the termite tracking stations will continue to safeguard your home against new termite activity. The approximated time of colony removal is 3– 6 months.
