Here's what you can do to move things along and make the whole process run smoothly.
To prepare your home for an inspection or a termite treatment you will need to move your furniture and other items that are near the walls. That way the technicians can have at least a meter of space between the walls and your furniture so they can work properly. Additionally, you will need to empty out all items from underneath your kitchen and bathroom sink, since an important step of the inspection is checking for termite activity near your water sources.
If the entrance points to your attic or crawl space are blocked, you will need to move any items that are blocking them and clear the way for your pest control specialist to enter and conduct a proper termite inspection.
Take care of your landscape, making sure that no plants or shrubs are covering the foundation of your home or the exterior walls.
If you take the time to go through all these steps before your scheduled inspection or treatment you can save your pest control specialist a lot of time, saving yourself money in the process.
Such methods include:
Fixing any leaks or moisture problems, such as inadequate ventilation, leaking pipes, and similar plumbing issues.
Clear any shrubbery that's near or covering weep holes.
Don't store wood near entry points to your home since you can easily bring in termites that way.
If you're building a new home, talk to your contractor about certain methods and materials that can be used to reduce the risk of termite infestations.
Get regular termite monitoring and treatment, following your pest control professional's inspection report and recommendations.
Use DIY termite barriers and repellents which are safe for your family and pets, but also effective in keeping termites away. Such products include boric acid, vinegar, nematodes, orange essential oil and so on.
Now that we've covered the basics when it comes to termite protection and prevention, as well as proper and timely identification, we can go over to some of the main ways you can use to treat a termite infestation.
As we already mentioned above, there are a few key factors that can impact the price of termite pest control services. The main ones include:
The larger your home or property is, the more time and effort will be required to get all areas inspected and treated properly, which will end up costing you more.
The cost of the services also depends on the extent of your termite problem, and the amount of time and effort it takes your technician to treat all affected areas. Termites love warm, humid areas and climates, so if you happen to live in such an area, you may be more susceptible to termite infestations.
In order for you to get an effective termite treatment for your property, you will need to select the appropriate method that works best in your situation. Your pest control specialist will be able to help you choose the right treatment that fits your needs and is within your budget. In some cases, termite sprays and repellents can get the job done for a very low price. However, as soon as their effects wear off, your problem will likely return as well. That's why some situations require a more hands-on and complex approach, such as setting up baiting systems or termite barriers, which require a lot more work.
While your location is not among the top main factors that determine the price of the treatment, it can sometimes play a role in it as well. As we mentioned before, if you live in an area that's considered as some sort of a hot spot for termites, you may have a more extensive problem that requires a lot more effort and time, causing the final price of the services to go up.
If you suspect that you might have a termite problem or you haven't had a termite inspection in a long time, our pest control services have got you covered.
Our pest management and control programs include a thorough inspection of your property as well as developing a plan of action that will help our pest control specialists take care of your termite problem for good.
Here are the main termite treatment options used today:
Baiting is an effective way of destroying entire colonies of termites, by strategically placing bait stations around the parameter of the home, which will take care of any present or future infestations. Provided that you check on the bait stations and the treated zones frequently you will be able to keep your termite problems under control.
Soil treatments are used to keep subterranean termites away from your home, as well as destroy any current colonies that might be living inside. The way this treatment works is that our pest control specialists will dig a trench around your home's foundation, apply termiticide and cover the trench with dirt. The termiticide or chemical barrier will not only kill the termites present in your home, once they come to nest in the ground, but it will also help prevent future infestations.
Wood treatments come in a variety of forms. Some wood treatments can be conducted during the construction of a home. This surface application can help protect your home from potential infestations and keep your wooden structures safe. Other types of treatments include Borate treated wood, surface sprays, injected sprays and foams, and more. These can be used both as a preventative method and as a way to take care of current infestations./div>
One of the most common ways to get rid of termites is using Boric acid. You can use Boric acid on an open infestation or on pieces of wood and furniture you suspect might be infested. You can also use beneficial nematodes, which are unsegmented worms whose sole purpose is to hunt down termites and other garden pests. They’ll be able to eliminate the infestation within 48 hours of planting them.
Before you take any necessary measures to get rid of termites in your home, you’ll need to track down the infestation. Signs like holes in woodwork, sagging floors and hollow parts of your foundation are more than enough evidence that you have termites in your home, and you need to take action before things get out of hand.
Termites thrive in warmer climates. There are over 360 types of termites in Australia, classified in three main categories according to where they nest and feed: subterranean, drywood and dampwood. Subterranean termites live in a wide range of areas, dampwood termites can be found in coniferous forests, while drywood termites can be found in hardwood forests.
While they are very tiny, termites are visible with the naked eye. They have a soft body and can be grey, white or brown. Same as with other insects they have a head, a thorax and an abdomen. What differentiated them from other insects the most is the fact that their waist and antenna are straight and their wings are the same length (this goes for winged termites).
