Termite Control

Termite Treatment and Prevention

If you are dealing with a termite infestation, you need to use treatment as soon as possible. Repairing termite damage can cost thousands of dollars, from removing an existing colony to repairing the damage they did. At Eco Pest Control Sydney, we can apply the correct termite treatment to your home, preventing further damage.

Why Termite Treatment Is Important

Termites may cause great damage to your home, as long as they have favourable conditions. Here are the main reasons why termite treatment is important:

Termites Multiply Very Fast

Termite queens may lay 15-20 eggs every minute. Since termites do not sleep, this may mean more than 40,000 eggs per day. Without proper termite control, this may lead to a full-blown infestation in no time.

It Saves You Money

The average cost to repair a home damaged by termites in Sydney is $4,500 – even more, depending on the size of the colony. It costs less to prevent, something that may easily be done with termite treatment.

It Gives All-Season Protection

Termites do not have the concept of seasons. This means that they will deal the same damage on your home during winter as they would during summer – as long as they have good conditions. Termite treatment will give you peace of mind as it will remove the termites and keep them out in the long term.

Types of Treatment Available

There are multiple types of treatment available to treat a termite infestation.

Live Spraying

If you have an ongoing termite infestation, live treatment will be necessary to kill the termite colony. We kill active colonies using termiticide such as Termidor directly on their nest. This will remove most of the termites in your home, the rest of them being destroyed once they try to return to the nest.

Termite Barriers

Termite barriers offer ultimate protection against termite infestations. To install a termite barrier, we will make a trench around the perimeter and spray it with our termiticide. If termites try to go past it, they will be killed almost instantly and will have no opportunity to reproduce.

Termite Baiting

Termite baiting systems are installed around the yard, using a non-toxic “bait” to monitor termite activity. If termites are discovered, the non-toxic bait is replaced with toxic bait, killing the colony that has been feeding on the bait.

Termite Reticulation

A termite reticulation system is often installed during the pre-construction phase of the house. Pipes are installed underneath your home, which will pump pesticides into the soil. This action will prevent termites from gaining entry into your home from underneath. These pipes may be refilled once the termiticide runs out, most manufacturers recommending a 2-year interval.

At Eco Pest Control Sydney, we may install any type of termite protection system, ensuring the safety of your home in the long run.
