We have a wide selection of treatments for your Castle Hill home, and we provide you with effective control and prevention against future attacks.
We encourage you to call us. Our experienced termite extermination specialists can determine the extent of the issue and the best termite treatment for your home. We are happy to answer all your questions about damage, cost, timeframe and prevention.
The Exterra termite baiting program is a very effective treatment against termites. After the colony has been eradicated, this baiting program can be left to detect any future attacks on the property.
Bait stations are placed around the property in the ground/concrete and, if possible, directly onto sites of activity. These stations are filled with bait upon which the termites feed. These stations are monitored by us every three to six weeks until feeding stops. The stations then remain in place are filled with timber strips and monitored by us every eight to 12 weeks until completion of the contract period 12/24 months later to detect any future attacks.
After this time, if you choose to continue the program, these stations can be monitored by us, or by you (a much cheaper option) so should you have termites again at any point in the future, you will not have the cost of installing another system. We are also able to offer you a $100, 000 timber replacement insurance with the Exterra product as we are a quality preferred operator. The bait used in these stations has been classified as nonhazardous by the National OH&S commission.
The Nemesis system uses a different bait product but essentially works the same as the Exterra system.
Powder treatments are effective against termites, however, there needs to be a large amount of accessible activity for us to use this method and usually requires several applications. Termites pass through the dust, return to the nest and infect the colony which will then die.
Chemical soil barriers are not suitable where the home has been built on rock or similar surface.
The soil around the external and internal perimeter of the base of the home is trenched and/or drilled and the trench flooded and backfill treated, or in the case of drilling, liquid termiticide is injected into the holes to create a physical barrier for the termites to pass through. When they pass through the chemically treated area they become affected and will die. A follow-up inspection of the infested areas is usually carried out three months after the treatment (sooner if required depending on the property) to ensure all activity has ceased.
The Camilleri reticulation system is black tubing which is placed around the slab and charged with liquid termiticide. This tube has holes which allows the chemical to slowly drain into the soil and usually needs topping up every three to four years. We will not top up a reticulation system we have not installed as we will be unable to determine if the tubing has been laid correctly and safely.
