Baiting or Cleaning 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 utilized is non-chemical that contains an active ingredient, so effective that only a percentage is needed. Termites consume the bait and carry it to back the nest where they share it with other termites.

The Other Initial Alternative Is:

Termite dusting is the very first phase 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 product utilized as the food source in the majority of the termite bait systems.

To Apply Termidor Dust: Small holes are made in infested wood or directly onto termite trails. 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 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 generally take 3-6 weeks for the nest to be impacted by the dust.

Termite dusting nevertheless does not provide an on-going security to a building 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 important following termite dusting.

Second Phase of a Termite Treatment

Termite Soil Treatment: Termite soil treatments are the favored choice for eradicating termite problems. Nevertheless, soil treatment does depend on the construction design of your home and can be discussed with the specialist 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 range 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 typically prefer to treat the entire of the subfloor. This increases surface area coverage in the subfloor and for that reason increases the possibility 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 took place.

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 2 Main Types of Soil Treatments:.

Repellent: Repellent termiticides work by creating a termite toxic 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 structures. This can be tough to attain due to the construction and style of your home and if there is concrete against your home. Repellent termiticides are mainly utilized throughout the pre-construction phase.

Non-repellent: With non-repellent termiticide, termites are not able to detect that an area has been treated and thus do not avoid the treated location. 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 result in 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 style.

Termite Baiting & Tracking Systems.

The tracking and baiting is a complete system that includes

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

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