Termite Treatment Options Castle Hill NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

A termite evaluation is the initial step in termite management

Termites and the termite swarm have belonged to our natural world for millions of years. Also commonly called white ants they are resilient and consistent, being found, typically, in every third property.

Australian conditions are especially appropriate for termites. The Australian standard recommends that a termite evaluation be performed every 12 months and more often in high risk locations.

Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific locations around your home and once termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so reliable that only a percentage is required. Termites ingest the bait and bring it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the very first phase of a termite treatment as it requires 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 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 tracks. 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 disruption of the termites.

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

Termite dusting however does not provide an on-going protection to a structure from future termite attacks. There may 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 vital following termite dusting.

Second Stage of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored choice for getting rid of termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the building design 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 consisting of:

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

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

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

These locations could include:.

• 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 producing a termite harmful barrier around a home. The treated locations become 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 difficult to accomplish due to the building and style of your home and if there is concrete against the house. Repellent termiticides are primarily used during the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to identify that an area has been treated and thus do not avoid the treated area. When the termites pass 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 style.

Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in specific locations around your home and once termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so reliable that only a percentage is required. Termites ingest 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 involves

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

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

In most cases your home is the most pricey item you may own; don’t let it be eaten away by termites!
