Types of Termite Treatments for Homes in Australia
Australia's got a termite problem, and it's no joke. We're talking over 350 species, with about 20 being major house-wrecking villains. But fear not, fellow Aussie! We've got some seriously effective termite control methods to protect your home (and your sanity).
Liquid Termiticides (Soil Treatments)
Think of this as building a chemical moat around your house. These potent termiticides are injected into the soil around your property, creating a barrier that termites can't cross.
These liquid treatments work by contact and ingestion. Should any termite touch or eat the treated soil, they’re exterminated. The best part is that the termites unknowingly carry the termiticides back to the colony, leading to a domino effect of extermination.
Termite Baiting Systems
This method is all about strategy and patience. Bait stations are strategically placed around your property, acting as termite traps. These stations contain a slow-acting poison that termites take back to their colony, causing a chain reaction. This is a great option for targeted treatment and monitoring termite activity.
Termite Fumigation
This is one of the major treatments you can opt for. Fumigation is usually used for severe infestations and involves completely sealing the structure and filling it with a gas that eradicates the termites. This is a more extreme measure, but highly effective. It's important to note that fumigation requires careful planning and execution. You'll definitely need Safe Spray to handle this.
