Baiting or Dusting Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in particular locations around your house and when termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a small amount is required. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Preliminary Choice Is:

Termite dusting is the first stage 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 used as the food source in the majority of the termite bait systems.

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

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

Termite dusting nevertheless does not offer an on-going defense to a building from future termite attacks. There may 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 preferred option for removing termite problems. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the building style of your house and can be discussed with the technician on the day of the termite assessment.

Termite soil barrier treatments are applied to soil locations in which the structure is in contact with including:

• Subfloor.
• 
  Concrete slab borders.
• External wall borders.
• Execution 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 generally choose to treat the whole of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and therefore increases the probability of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

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

These locations could include:.

• Patios.
• Courses.
• Garages.
• Fireplaces.
• Bathrooms.
•  Laundries.
• External Border 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 poisonous barrier around a home. The treated locations become a no-go zone for termites. In order to work properly, these termiticides need to be applied in an unbroken zone around the foundations. This can be difficult to attain due to the building and style of your house and if there is concrete against your house. Repellent termiticides are primarily used throughout the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to spot that a location has been treated and hence 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 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 & Monitoring Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are put in particular locations around your house and when termite activity is discovered, baits are put inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical which contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a small amount is required. Termites consume the bait and bring it to back the nest 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 extremely well, and when a nest is eliminated or controlled, the termite monitoring stations will continue to safeguard your house against new termite activity. The approximated time of nest removal is 3– 6 months.

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