Managing active termites
Discovering termites (also known as white ants) in your home is distressing. They cause tens of thousands of dollars damage to Australian homes each year which is not covered by insurance.
Should you come across active termites it is best to seek professional help.
Do not disturb them or remove their mud trails. Instead, reach out to a Termi expert to schedule an inspection. They can also provide you with an obligation free quote for any termite treatment required.
Our trained technicians will investigate how termites are gaining entry and discuss the most effective measures to safeguard your property against termite damage.
This may include techniques such as baiting, spot treatments, dusting or more complete systems like reticulation.
Termite inspections
Regular termite inspections are vital to managing termite activity.
We recommend annual inspections by a licensed pest control company with long term experience in identifying active termites within homes and properties.
Termite damage is not covered by insurance, so undertaking regular inspections can save you both the heartache and the financial impact of termite damage to your home.Â
Termite baiting stations
Termite baiting systems are a preventative treatment solution for termites.
Containing a non-poison growth inhibitor, stations are placed around a property at set intervals and draw termites away from the home.
The baits attract termites, which inturn, ingest the inhibitor. This results in the inhibtor spreading through the colony, preventing it from increasing in size and population.
Termite spot treatments & dusting
These two methods of termite treatment are primarily used in specific cases of termite infestation. Both rely heavily on the knowledge and skill of the technician to be effective.
Spot treatments are liquid termiticides which are applied directly to the termites with the results being immediate. Dusting is a slower process, with multiple applications required to eliminate the termites.
Both treatment options are usually used in conjunction with other methods of termite treatment.
Termite reticulation systems
Termite reticulation systems consist of a network of pipes layed around the perimeter of a home much like a garden watering system.
Chemical is delivered into the soil through the pipe which is buried beside the outside walls of the home. This evenly distributes the chemical through the system which can be recharged to provide ongoing protection.
