Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific locations around your home and as soon as termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical which 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 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 material utilized as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Use Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued lumber or straight onto termite routes. Using a small puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested lumber, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust leaving 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 normally 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 might be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are continuously establishing brand-new nests.

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

2nd Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the preferred option for eradicating termite problems. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend upon the building and 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 locations in which the structure is in contact with consisting of:

• Subfloor.
• 
  Concrete slab borders.
• External wall borders.
• Execution 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 dealt with. In any case we generally prefer to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area protection in the subfloor and for that reason 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 absolutely nothing happened.

These locations might consist of:.

• Patios.
• Paths.
• Garages.
• Fireplaces.
• Bathrooms.
•  Laundries.
• External Perimeter 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 toxic 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 challenging to achieve due to the building and construction and style of your home and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are primarily utilized during the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are unable to spot that an area has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated area. When the termites pass 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 specific locations around your home and as soon as termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical which 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

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

Termite baiting systems work very well, and as soon as a colony is eliminated or controlled, the termite monitoring stations will continue to protect 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; don’t let it be eaten away by termites!
