When finding active Termites in your home termite treatment is required to manage and remove the termites from your home. There are 2 initial stages for Termite Treatments in Brisbane
Stages to termite treatment and management:
Stage 1:
The first stage prior to termite treatment of active termites in you home is a complete inspection throughout the home and yard. Following the inspection termite entry points and workings can be assessed and dusting’s can be made to activity.
A dust known as Termidor dust of Foam is placed into termite workings and galleries. Termidor dust has a transfer effect that can spread through the termite colony. The dusting is performed in attempt to to kill the nest if the nest cannot be located. The more termites that can be dusted with termidor dust the more chance of the main nest being eliminated.
Stage 2:
After completion of the termite inspection and Termidor dusting the Termites are left undisturbed for approximately 2 weeks to allow the Termidor dust to take effect.
This second stage involves placement of a Chemical termite barrier to your home. Chemicals in Termite barrier Brisbane applications are often Premise or Termidor. These chemicals are non-repellent and placed to the soil around and under your home to create a treated zone. The chemicals are non-repellent to termites and termites unknowingly enter the treated zone. In the treated zone termites come into contact with the chemical and die.
The Termite barrier is placed by drilling of concrete areas and trenching of soil areas, following chemical is injected into the soil to form the termite treatment.
Following placement of your termite barrier on-going regular termite inspections are recommended as part of your termite management. Termite inspections are required as termites can breach or bridge barriers, in addition maintenance can be performed as the termite barrier ages or is damaged.
We also can offer payment plans on complete termite barriers including payments during stages of termite management to spread costs as the last thing you plan for is Termites.
