Baiting or Cleaning Is our First Line of Defense

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

The Other Initial Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the first phase 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 same material used as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued timber or straight onto termite tracks. Utilizing a little puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested timber, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust getting away and to minimize 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 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.

2nd Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored choice for eradicating termite infestations. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the building design of your home and can be discussed with the professional 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 borders.
• External wall borders.
• 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 generally 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 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 could consist of:.

• Patios.
• Courses.
• 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 developing a termite hazardous 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 foundations. This can be challenging to achieve due to the building and style of your home and if there is concrete against the house. Repellent termiticides are mainly used throughout the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are unable to find that an area has been treated and thus do not avoid the treated location. 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 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 involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in particular areas around your home and when termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so reliable that only a percentage is needed. 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

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

Termite baiting systems work extremely well, and when a colony is gotten rid of 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 most cases your home is the most pricey item you might own; do not let it be gnawed by termites!
