It has no adverse effects on humans or pets, but it is highly effective against termites. The effect of baiting can take anywhere from one to six months.

Foaming
This termite treatment method is most successful in areas with small corners or cracks that may otherwise be difficult to reach. Because it spreads through the nesting material, it coats all the surfaces the termites travel on, stopping them in their tracks.
Dusting
The termite dust is released directly onto the areas where termites are visible, and then the area is sealed. After being affected by the dust, the termites return to the termite colony, where they become infected.

Combining this method with other termite treatments may be necessary to ensure complete eradication.

Direct Liquid Treatment
In this termite treatment method, we use a registered termiticide. We generally employ this method when termites are found around the property line, in trees, shrubs, or retaining walls.

Termite Treatments
In 1995 the type of termite treatment systems fitted in a building, mainly with concrete slabs, changed. The new style of termite treatment involved a change in concrete slab design so that the slab did not crack for the full thickness and restricted termite entry to either around drainage pipes or at slab edges.

New systems were installed at slab level and can only be included prior to brickwork.

The initial systems included chemical, Termimesh or Granitguard. Later approvals have been given to Kordon and reticulation systems.

There are ongoing changes as well as approval for additional products. Each system has different characteristics and requirements and full information on each product and installation is available from the manufacturer or installer. Termite treatment systems require approval under Australian Standard 3660. 1-1995 and amended in 2000. It is also a requirement that a durable sticker is placed in the meter box to identify which system has been installed and when.

Types of Termite Treatments
There are several methods available to treat subterranean termites.
Chemical Termite Barriers
A chemical treatment is the most common treatment type available for subterranean termites. The goal of a subterranean termite chemical treatment is to establish a continuous termiticide barrier between the termite colony (usually in the soil) and timber in a building. This is done by placing termiticide in the soil around the foundation elements to provide a barrier preventing termites from entering the structure. Technicians trench the soil and inject termiticide beneath it. This creates a protective barrier around the property.

Termite Baiting System (In-Ground)
In-ground baiting systems are also becoming a popular method for treatment of subterranean termites. A subterranean termite baiting system involves placement of cellulose (wood material) bait stations at strategic locations around the perimeter of the home.

Worker termites, which constantly forage for wood to feed their colony, locate the cellulose bait stations and leave special scent trails to summon their mates to the food source. The cellulose material in the bait station is then replaced with a chemical inhibitor, retarding the moulting process in termites and preventing them from growing.

The carrier termites then bring the chemical back to the colony and–if everything goes well–spread the inhibitor throughout the remainder of the colony. Because of the growth inhibitor, the carrier and the rest of the colony will die.

All our technicians are highly experienced in all areas of pest control. We ensure treatments are safe for kids and pets, we use eco-friendly products and IGR’S (insect growth regulators).
