Termite Treatment Options Castle Hill NSW – Emergency Residential Exterminators

A termite evaluation is the primary step in termite management

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

Australian conditions are particularly appropriate for termites. The Australian standard suggests 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 placed in specific locations around your house and when termite activity is found, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so efficient that only a percentage is needed. Termites consume the bait and carry it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The Other Initial Option Is:

Termite dusting is the very first phase of a termite treatment as it involves 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 most of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in infested lumber or straight onto termite trails. 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 decrease disturbance of the termites.

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

Termite dusting nevertheless does not provide an on-going security to a structure from future termite attacks. There may be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are constantly developing new nests.

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

2nd Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored alternative for eradicating termite invasions. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the construction design of your house and can be discussed with the professional 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 perimeters.
• External wall perimeters.
• Application of soil treatment.

If the range between the soil and flooring woods is greater than 400-mm the soiled locations within the subfloor are trenched and treated. In any case we generally choose 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 perimeters are drilled at around 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if nothing happened.

These locations could consist of:.

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

There Are 2 Main Types of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by creating a termite poisonous barrier around a house. The treated locations end up being a no-go zone for termites. In order to work properly, these termiticides require to be applied in an unbroken zone around the structures. This can be challenging to attain due to the construction and style of your house and if there is concrete against the house. Repellent termiticides are mostly used throughout the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to identify that an area has been treated and for this reason do not avoid the treated area. When the termites go through the termiticide, they make contact with the active component, return to the colony and infest the unwary 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 include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are placed in specific locations around your house and when termite activity is found, baits are placed inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active component, so efficient that only a percentage is needed. Termites consume the bait and carry it to back the colony where they share it with other termites.

The tracking and baiting is a complete system that includes

• Placing tracking stations into the ground around the entire external perimeter of the property.
• 
  Placing unique stations inside the structure if there are active termites.

Termite baiting systems work extremely well, and when a nest is removed or managed, the termite tracking stations will continue to protect your house against new termite activity. The approximated time of colony elimination is 3– 6 months.

For the most part your house is the most pricey item you may own; don’t let it be gnawed by termites!
