What to Do?
If you suspect or know you have termites in your home, DO NOT disturb them or the affected area!
I know it’s tempting to blast them with aerosol spray, but this will only make matters worse & potentially more costly. If termites are found, we recommend to not disturb them or the areas surrounding and calling us ASAP to assess and treat.
Types of Treatment
Dusting
Termite dusting is an effective treatment method that involves applying a fine insecticidal dust to the termite trails within your property. This method targets the termite colony directly, allowing the dust to be transferred back to the nest by the active termites, effectively reducing the termite population over time.
Foaming
The foaming technique uses a special formulation that expands upon application, ensuring deeper penetration into the termite galleries and termite nests. This method is ideal for treating subterranean termites that have infiltrated difficult-to-reach areas, providing an effective solution to minimise termite damage.
Baiting
Termite baiting systems are strategically placed around your property to attract termites. These bait stations are filled with a slow-acting bait that, once taken back to the nest, gradually eliminates the termite colony. Regular monitoring of these stations by our expert team ensures the continued effectiveness of the treatment, offering long-term termite protection.
Chemical
Chemical treatments involve creating a termite barrier around your home with termiticides. This treatment not only eliminates active termites but also provides a long-lasting barrier that prevents future infestations, securing your valuable asset against the risk of termite attack.
Physical
Physical termite barriers are pre-construction measures designed to prevent termites from accessing the building. These can include metal shields and chemically treated fabrics that deter subterranean termites. Integrating pre-construction termite protection into your building plan is a proactive approach to termite management.
A Termite Inspection is mandatory before any type of treatment can commence. This is to assess the extent of the termite infestation, how best to go about treating the affected area or areas. LessPest More Control recommends after successful treatment, that all damaged timbers be replaced to meet the Australian Standard AS3660.2-2000
