Here are some signs you may need Termite Treatment
Your wooden floors, door frames, and skirting boards are termites' favorite haunts. When any of these areas appear soft to you and the vacuum cleaner easily penetrates the wood, this is another sign of the termites' presence
A significant outward sign is if you have bubbling or wrinkled timber. This is a sure sign that termites are at work. Termites hollow out the timber from the inside out, making the wood lose its structural integrity. Sometimes holes may not even be apparent, as termites may plug the entrance hole with mud, masking the hollow wood within. Take advantage of our Termite Control process and get rid of the termites in your home.
You may spot the alates or the termite young, which are small, winged insects that look like flying ants. Normally, these alates set out in search of new spaces to build colonies, and you can spot their presence.
Termite homes are small, tunnel-like structures made entirely of mud and cellulose. These termite homes look like small, brown mud tunnels. When you spot any of these, it is high time that you called our South Yarra Termite Control service to effect Termite Control Treatment.
Different types of termites in South Yarra
Australian termites are essentially of two types:
Subterranean termites
These are one of the world's most common and widespread termite species. They are rapacious wood eaters, consuming the wooden structures and frames in your home in a short period of time. This termite species feeds on soft woods such as pine and cedar. They are well known for their mud tube-structured homes. When you suspect a termite presence in your home, make haste and hire our South Yarra Termite Control services to protect your property.
Dry Wood Termites
This termite is an inhabitant of Southeastern, West Indian, and desert areas. These drywood termites are commonly known as furniture termites, as they primarily feed on furniture wood. Don’t underestimate them by their small colonies, as these are also very destructive termites, compromising the structural integrity of your wood and causing widespread property damage.
Tips for Termite Protection and Prevention
- Termites love moisture, so prevent stagnant water around your home. Also, fix any leaking pipes that will allow termites to flourish.
- Ensure that the vents of your home provide good cross ventilation to avoid creating favorable conditions for a termite attack.
- You must direct any hot water sources or tank overflow water away from your home through properly constructed drains to prevent termites from flourishing.
- You must ensure that your home is inspected by an Australian-accredited termite inspector for preventive pest control of termites. Such inspections must be done every 6–12 months.
- Use termite-proof wood when constructing the wooden structure of your home to prevent termite attacks. Use our termite spray control services to termite-proof your wood.
- Remove any stray wood or timber lying around your garden or your neighbourhood, as this stray wood offers termites an opportunity to burrow through it.
- It is preferable to have your garden at a level lower than your home vent.
- Call our Termite Control South Yarra team to carry out our proper Termite Control procedures.
Tailored Treatment Options are Available
Our Termite Control South Yarra services provides tailored treatment options uniquely suited to the termite infestation in your home. Our Termite Control South Yarra experts will inspect your home and property and assess the damage. After this, they may recommend two solutions: 1) A quick fix 2) Complete treatment. Remember, quick fixes only treat the areas of visible termite damage and only offer temporary relief. However, if you want long-lasting protection, the only solution is to go in for a complete treatment.
Under complete treatment, you have the following six methods that are used:
Spray treatment
In this, a spray is used directly on visible termites. If it is a non-repellant-type of spray, that is undetected by termites, this method provides the most effective treatment.
Foam treatment
Foam penetrates all areas underneath the wood, efficiently killing the termites and wiping out their colonies. You can even reach hard-to-reach areas with this solution.
Dust Treatment
In this treatment, multiple holes are drilled in different areas, and dust is applied. These holes are then covered up. Termites contract infections from the dust and die within.
Full Treatments
We use this option to eradicate entire termite colonies.
Termite Barrier Treatment
Under this treatment, non-repellant chemicals are applied to the pathways, soil, and property slabs. Termites carry this poison to their nests, which helps destroy the colony. This is an expensive treatment where the cost depends on the property size, location, and construction of your property.
Termite Baiting Treatment
This effective long-term treatment involves placing baits within active termite nests and colonies. When a termite is detected, a powerful termiticide is released, killing the termites instantly. Our Termite Pest Control South Yarra technicians monitor the baits on a regular basis.
The factors that affect termite treatment costs in South Yarra
Our Termite exterminator cost depends on the choice of the termite treatment. The above section highlights the various treatment options and their associated costs for your reference. Quick fixes, by their very nature, are intended to provide short-term relief and are less costly. The more sustained, long-lasting relief comes from prolonged, complete treatments. These treatments are more costly. The cost is determined by different factors, including the property size, location, construction of the property, and type of chemicals used. The larger the area to be covered, the more expensive the chemicals, the higher the cost of termite treatment, and vice versa. If we need to conduct regular monitoring, the cost will increase accordingly. All things considered, the cost of doing termite control is reasonable compared to the property loss and damage that termites inflict.
