Baiting or Cleaning 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 when termite activity is discovered, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized 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 Preliminary Alternative Is:

Termite dusting is the very first phase of a termite treatment as it entails 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 utilized as the food source in the majority of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in infested wood or straight onto termite trails. Utilizing a little puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested wood, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust getting away and to lower disturbance of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their normal activities long enough to transfer the Termidor Dust to unsuspecting termites within the nest. It will normally take 3-6 weeks for the nest to be affected 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 new nests.

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

2nd Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored option for getting rid of termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the construction style of your home and can be discussed with the technician on the day of the termite evaluation.

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 distance 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 typically prefer to treat the whole of the subfloor. This increases surface area protection in the subfloor and therefore increases the likelihood of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

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

These locations might consist of:.

• Patios.
• Courses.
• Garages.
• Fireplaces.
• Bathrooms.
•  Laundries.
• External Boundary Walls.
• Soiled locations will be trenched or rodded.
• Concrete locations will be drilled.

There Are Two Main Types of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by developing a termite poisonous 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 foundations. This can be hard to achieve due to the construction and style of your home and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are primarily utilized throughout the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to detect 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 unsuspecting 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 placed in specific locations around your home and when termite activity is discovered, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized 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 includes

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

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

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