Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are placed in specific areas around your home and once termite activity is found, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a small amount is needed. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Initial Alternative 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 exact same material utilized as the food source in most of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in infested timber or straight onto termite routes. Utilizing a small puffer, fine dust is puffed directly onto termites within the infested timber, these holes are covered to seal the workings, to prevent any dust leaving and to minimize disruption of the termites.

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

Termite dusting nevertheless 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 developing 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 favored option for eradicating termite infestations. However, soil treatment does depend on the building and construction style of your home and can be discussed with the specialist on the day of the termite examination.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil areas in which the structure is in contact with consisting of:

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

If the distance between the soil and flooring timbers 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 protection in the subfloor and for that reason increases the likelihood 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 occurred.

These areas might consist of:.

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

There Are Two Main Kind Of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by developing a termite harmful 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 structures. This can be difficult to attain due to the building and construction and design of your home and if there is concrete against the house. Repellent termiticides are mostly utilized during the pre-construction stage.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to discover that a location has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated area. When the termites travel through the termiticide, they make contact with the active ingredient, return to the nest 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 design.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

Termite baiting does not involve spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are placed in specific areas around your home and once termite activity is found, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait utilized is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a small amount is needed. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The tracking and baiting is a complete system that involves

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

Termite baiting systems work very well, and once a colony is removed or controlled, the termite tracking stations will continue to protect your home against new termite activity. The approximated time of nest removal is 3– 6 months.

Most of the times your home is the most costly item you may own; don’t let it be gnawed by termites!
