Termite Treatment Options West Pennant Hills NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

A termite examination 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 called white ants they are resilient and persistent, being found, usually, in every third property.

Australian conditions are particularly appropriate for termites. The Australian standard suggests that a termite examination 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 positioned in specific locations around your home and once termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so effective that only a percentage is needed. Termites consume the bait and bring 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 utilizing 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 the majority of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in plagued lumber or straight onto termite trails. Utilizing 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 escaping and to reduce disturbance of the termites.

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

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

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

2nd Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored choice for removing termite infestations. However, soil treatment does depend upon the building design of your home and can be discussed with the service technician on the day of the termite examination.

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

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

If the range between the soil and flooring timbers is greater than 400-mm the soiled locations within the subfloor are trenched and treated. In any case we usually choose to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and for that reason increases the possibility of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

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

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 Kind Of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by developing a termite hazardous barrier around a house. 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 structures. This can be hard to achieve due to the building and design of your home and if there is concrete against your house. Repellent termiticides are mostly used during the pre-construction stage.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are unable to find that a location has been treated and hence do not avoid the treated area. When the termites go through the termiticide, they make contact with the active component, return to the colony and infest the unwary termites, which will lead to 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 positioned in specific locations around your home and once termite activity is found, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so effective that only a percentage is needed. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The monitoring and baiting is a complete system that includes

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

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

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