What Exactly is a Termite Treatment?

Termite treatment involves applying specialised chemicals both inside and around the home to kill active termites and prevent new ones from entering. It targets termites in areas like wood building materials, wall voids, under slabs, and foundations.

Our termite control experts are licensed techs use advanced solutions that are safe when properly applied. We create a protective barrier so your home is less vulnerable to attacks.

Why is Termite Treatment So Important for Homeowners in Sydney?

Termites cause over $1 billion in property damage every year in Australia. In fact, 1 in 5 homes in Sydney will get termites at some point!

When termites invade, they feast on cellulose materials like drywall and wood structures. You may not even notice until major, costly damage occurs. Prevention and early treatment are key.

Our complete termite management service provides effective, long-term control. We eliminate current activity and give a written warranty against future infestations.

Protect your valuable property from these destructive pests.

Here is the section on types of termite treatments:

Types of Termite Treatments

There are three main approaches we use to get rid of termite species and keep them from returning:

Bait Systems

Bait systems are a popular and effective treatment. Stations are monitored and baited by professionals. The termites feast on the bait and bring it back to the nest to kill the rest of the colony. This stops the infestation at its source. We use advanced Sentricon and Exterra bait systems.

Timber Treatment

This targets existing termite colonies in wood. We apply borate-based chemicals or injected liquid sprays. Surface spraying or misting also eliminates termites on contact. Proper wood treatment kills termites in your home’s framing.

Soil Treatment

By trenching and treating the soil around your home’s foundation, we create a protective barrier. Chemicals are dug and sprayed to prevent termites from gaining access from underground. Soil treatment stops future infestations.

How do Termite Colonies Cause Damage?

Termites work as a highly structured colony when infesting and damaging homes. Understanding their social organisation helps explain why they can cause such severe destruction.

The Workers – Make up the majority and do all the chewing and tunnelling during an attack. Workers eat cellulose material like wood, drywall, books, cardboard, etc. A mature colony can have tens of thousands of workers.

The Soldiers – These termites guard the colony and protect it when threatened. They have enlarged head capsules and strong jaws used to fend off ants or stop leaks in damaged wood tunnels.

The Reproductive Queen – A mature queen termite can produce up to 30,000 eggs per year under proper conditions! The queen has a huge abdomen and remains stationary, continuously laying eggs to build the colony.

The Nursery – Worker termites tend eggs and baby termites in an underground nursery connected to the damaged wood via tunnels. Nymphs require cellulose feeding before they develop into adults.

With workers chomping through wood 24/7, termite damage can happen quickly. At first, you’ll see little piles of sawdust-like “frass”. This debris is from their excavations.

Termites work away in dark, moist areas of your home devouring wood beams, frames and furniture. If left unchecked, major structural elements like joists and rafters get compromised.

That’s why spotting the signs of termites early and getting a professional treatment is so important.

As you can see, an infestation rapidly intensifies. Call Trust Pest Control on 02 8015 6222 at the very first sign of termites.

Our treatments target all life stages to control the colony and prevent extensive destruction to your home. Don’t delay!

Termite Sprays

Termite spraying is an effective and reliable treatment method. There are several benefits that make spraying chemical treatments a go-to option for pest management pros:

• Affordable – Liquid spray applications are cost-effective compared to other methods.
• High penetration – Sprays can permeate wood and soil better than dusts that only treat surfaces. This gets to termites lurking below.
• Direct contact – Spraying allows pesticides to directly contact termites on exposed surfaces. This provides immediate knockdown.
• Easy application – Pest control techs can efficiently treat large areas with spray rigs and tanks. This makes outdoor soil treatments faster.
• Flexible delivery – Various spray nozzles and injectors allow pesticides to be administered in different scenarios. Crack and crevice treatments hit hidden spots.

When combined with other methods like baiting, termite spraying provides comprehensive protection. The liquid pesticides form an effective barrier against termite entry when applied correctly.

Treating infested areas with sprays also compliments the user of both chemical barrier and physical barriers.

Are Pesticides Used Against Termites Safe?

When hearing the word “pesticide,” it’s natural to have some safety concerns. After all, chemicals designed to kill pests can pose dangers to people and pets when used improperly.

We want to assure customers that with proper application by licensed professionals, anti-termite pesticides CAN be used safely in and around your home. However, it’s important homeowners understand these chemicals should be handled with care.

Most termiticides available today have relatively low mammalian toxicity when applied according to the product label. Regardless, some level of caution is warranted as they are designed to eliminate insects. Residual chemicals also linger to continue working over time.

DIY pesticide use does involve an extra degree of risk. It’s essential to carefully follow all instructions when treating termites yourself. Any pesticides misapplied or overused can lead to environmental contamination or unintentional exposure.

At Trust Pest Control, we adhere to the most stringent standards using products approved for professional termite control in Australia. Let us safely handle these powerful chemicals while you relax knowing your home is protected.

Here is a summary of factors that can attract termites:

Factors That Attract Termites

There are certain conditions that make homes more susceptible to termite infestations:

• Humidity – Termites thrive in moist environments. Leaky roofs, pipes, or overflow drainage can create damp areas termites target.
• Wooden Structures – Houses with timber framing and wood construction materials have abundant termite food sources.
• Gaps in Foundations – Cracks or crevices in foundations or slabs provide entry access from underground colonies.
• Dead Wood – Tree stumps, dead roots, buried scrap wood, and mulch contacting your home supply termites with food.
• Poor Ventilation – Dark, enclosed areas with little air circulation allow moisture buildup that termites need.
• Warm Climate – Termites are most active in warm weather and attracted to heat sources like AC units.
• Mulch/Debris – Direct wood-to-soil contact around the exterior gives termites easy access.

By understanding what attracts termites, you can take preventative measures to reduce the risk of infestation. Proper moisture control, sealing cracks, and clearing debris are key.

Signs of Termite Infestaion

Watch for these common signs that termites have invaded your home:

• Underground Tunnels – Mud tubes that run from the soil up to wood structures may indicate subterranean termites.
• Shelter Tubes – Narrow mud or dirt tubes built over exposed wood surfaces can mean drywood termites are active.
• Blowholes in Trees – Openings in tree trunks near your home could signal termite activity inside.
• Piles of Droppings – Sawdust-like debris or discarded wings around wood are evidence of termite feeding.
• Sagging Floors – Wood flooring or tile sinking can indicate termites damaged joists or beams below.
• Hollow Walls – Tapping on walls that sound abnormally hollow may mean termites ate away wood framing inside.
• Peeling Paint or Stains – Paint bubbling on siding can signal termites are destroying wood underneath.
• Crumbling Drywall – Termites boring into wall void spaces can cause visible drywall cracking or sunk-in sections they are actively eating.

Don’t ignore these red flags. The sooner you call for an inspection, the less damage termites can do. If signs are spotted, contact Trust Pest Control Sydney at 02 8015 6222 right away to schedule a thorough evaluation. The faster we act, the better!
