Baiting or Cleaning Is our First Line of Defense

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in particular areas around your home and as soon as termite activity is discovered, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a percentage is needed. Termites ingest the bait and carry it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Initial Option Is:

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

To Apply Termidor Dust: Little holes are made in plagued lumber or straight onto termite routes. Utilizing 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 escaping and to decrease disturbance of the termites.

The termites will continue togo about their normal activities long enough to transfer the Termidor Dust to unsuspecting termites within the nest. It will normally 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 structure from future termite attacks. There may be more than one termite nest within striking distance and termites are continuously developing brand-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 preferred choice for eliminating 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.
• Implementation of soil treatment.

If the range 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 usually choose to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and for that reason increases the likelihood of termites coming into contact with Termidor.

Concrete boundaries are drilled at approximately 20 to 30-cm centres (1.2-cm holes), injected and re-concreted, as if nothing took place.

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 creating a termite poisonous barrier around a house. The treated areas end up being 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 construction and design of your home and if there is concrete against the house. Repellent termiticides are mainly used during the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to spot that a location 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 ingredient, return to the nest and infest the unsuspecting 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 design.

Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems.

Termite baiting does not include spraying chemicals or trenching. Stations are positioned in particular areas around your home and as soon as termite activity is discovered, baits are positioned inside the existing stations. The termite bait used is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so efficient that only a percentage is needed. Termites ingest the bait and carry 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 very well, and as soon as a nest is gotten rid of or controlled, the termite monitoring stations will continue to safeguard your home against new termite activity. The estimated time of nest elimination is 3– 6 months.

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