Your Trusted Termite Treatment Solution

Termites can cause serious damage to your home. Although termites can cause serious damage to your home and property, many people don’t realise they have them until the problem becomes too severe. Therefore, scheduling a routine termite inspection before costly repairs is crucial.

Termites can be difficult to spot until the damage has been done. Therefore, it is crucial to have termite inspections at least once per year. In addition, if you live in an area that is hot and humid, termites are more likely than others to infest your house. You can therefore be more careful about scheduling your annual inspections.

Older homes are more likely to be home to unwanted guests. So, before you decide whether to purchase a house or not, it is worth having a pest and termite inspection.

Both termites and carpenter ants can produce winged reproductions to spread their species and establish new colonies. Therefore, recognising any flying insects on your walls is crucial. These are important points that will allow you to distinguish termites from ants.

• Termites found in groups are lighter in colour. Flying ants, for example, come in various colours, including red, brown, and black.
• Both termites and ants have two pairs of wings. The termite wings, however, are almost identical in size. Three distinct parts make up the distinctive body of an ant.
• Termites can also be divided into three parts. They don’t have narrow waists as ants, however.
• Termites have straight beaded antennae. Straight beaded antennae are a result of ants having bent antennae.

Professional extermination is often more efficient than DIY methods and takes less time. You can save money by not allowing pests to grow, and you will be able to get rid of them quickly.

To improve pest management efficiency, it is possible to identify and treat the root cause of pest problems. However, the root cause of pest problems will not be addressed if you don’t treat it. Routine pest control includes a survey of the home and an inspection of the interior and exterior.

An expert in pest control might create a customised pest control program based on assessing pests, IPM strategies, and other relevant information.

One of the biggest concerns regarding termite management is whether humans can eradicate termites. The answer is “no”, unfortunately.

Hiring pest control experts can eliminate termites. Tom’s Pest Control termite experts have many years of expertise and can design a customised treatment plan.

Bait stations are an effective and long-lasting way to eliminate termites. The bait works slowly, but it is effective in eliminating all types of termites, including those that are reproductive or army.

Hexaflumuron, the main insecticide used for termites’ control, is also known as Hexaflumuron. Fipronil is the active ingredient in many liquid termiticides. This chemical was carefully formulated. It can be used immediately to kill termites in sufficient amounts.

Termidor (Fipronyl) is America’s most well-known termiticide. It is widely used for termite control. Termidor is the only termiticide that kills termites and exterminates their colonies. These products are available online and at local businesses that offer pest control supplies.

The walls are quiet. Hidden in corners and on windowsills are many more wings. You can see their existence by watching tiny white creatures crawling along the baseboards. Anyone who has previously dealt with termite infestations will recognise the sound.

If homeowners can spot termites, they can be found in their homes. After you have paid for damages or made repairs to your home, termites can be very costly. This can be prevented by installing a termite barrier.

A termite barrier is the best way to eliminate termites from your home. We can provide it. This is because termite colonies can live up to eight years. However, they can be destroyed in as short as 90 days.

This termite control method stops termites from entering your property. In addition, it creates a treatment area around the termite infestation.

Digging a trench is the best way to put up a termite barrier. Backfilling is also possible. The trench should be 50 mm below ground level and 150 mm wide.

This means that concrete tiles will be drilled 150mm deep and exterior walls 150mm apart. A 200m area will enclose the driveway, walkway, patios, and porticos.

Before installing a chemical barrier, inspecting the property for termites is crucial. To ensure that there are no active termites, this inspection is necessary. Any active termites must be removed before the barrier can be constructed.

Termites that have not died can be treated immediately. Twenty-one days later, we return to inspect termites and make sure they are removed successfully. If termites are not present, the barrier can be installed immediately.

After the barrier is installed, a trench should be dug around it. It should be 300mm wide and deep enough that it can expose feet.

The termite baiting device should be installed after an inspection of the home. Pest control professionals will inspect your home and determine the best way to eliminate termites.

Monitoring stations can detect termites and initiate colonial removal. The bait contains a cellulose-based termiticide mixed with a slow-acting and long-acting insecticide. The termites’ worker termites will eat the bait, then return to the colony to continue consuming the rest.

It can take between 6 and 12 weeks to eradicate a colony. We are well-versed in termite baiting techniques.

Furniture can be treated with the same termite management methods as wood. These are just some ways to eliminate termites from your home.

• Please live near the coast. However, to administer chemical treatments, a specialist should be consulted.
• You can also get rid of termites with white vinegar or lemon juice. Mix two lemon juices with one cup of vinegar in a bowl—place in a container.

It is amazing to see the speed at which termites can consume wood. The economy suffers from termites that cause damage to property worth over $5 billion each year. You may also be able to see through the wood and cause damage to your home’s stability.

It can be difficult to predict the extent of damage caused by termites. How much damage is done will depend on the size and type of colony. There is also the possibility that contaminated wood might be a factor.

While termites can live in smaller colonies, they are more common in larger colonies. As a result, termites can infest homes with several colonies. Termites can cause serious damage if they are present in large numbers.

Termites do not transmit the disease to other insects via their bites. Termite bites are rare due to their small size and weak bite. However, any insect bite or puncture can make you sick.

A soldier is a termite who could bite you. It is extremely unlikely. Soldiers are more likely to repel ants using mouthparts than workers’ termites. Their heads are darker brown and larger than the workers’ termites. They do not have eyes or wings.

A wooden floor is used to create the perfect home. Let’s suppose you hear a hollow sound from it. Or you may find papery wood. If termites are present, a wooden floor could be a problem.

• Small spores might identify dry wood termites. Small, dirty hardwood particles could also confirm a termite infestation.
• You may notice worn-out clothing and microscopic spores in costumes. Urbanites can also be affected by termites via their electrocortical switches boards.

These termites live in wood and require moisture to survive. Because they live in wood, these termites can thrive in humid coastal environments. These are the three types and their appearance.

• Workers: Drywood termites look similar to subterranean termites due to their cream-to–white colour.
• Soldiers – These are opaque with heads or bodies with darker orangish-brown skin.

Reproductive Drywood Swallowers are dark brown, with amber-coloured heads. They also have smoky grey wings.

Subterranean termite colonies tend to be smaller than dry wood termite ones. In mature colonies, there are only about a handful of termites. They form new colonies by mating in wood cracks.

A termite network is an underground system of pipes placed around a home. Its primary purpose is to stop termites from returning. It can be sprayed with termiticides extensively using special machinery or pumps.

There are many options available for reticulation. Each system has its pros and cons. As an example, let’s say they have access to the perimeter. They can then be replenished without having to dig through concrete.

A termite chemical barrier is a treated area that has been chemically treated. It can be used as a barrier around a building or structure. This treated zone is strategically placed beneath the earth’s surface to stop termites from flowing naturally. You can choose any termite depending on your budget and needs.

Termite treatment usually lasts for five years. Although termite bait stations only last for one year and should not be replaced annually, liquid termite treatment may last up to five.

Termites can’t get through even after five years. If the chemical barrier is not broken, termites can still get into your home. Annual inspections can control termites.

The bait can be extremely dangerous, and termites could eat it while they forage. After they are done, termites will return the bait to their colony, where it will spread disease. The colony can be destroyed quickly, as termites take several months to find the bait stations.
