Brisbane has a subtropical climate which termites thrive in. Queensland as a whole has seen termites numbers explode recently due to the heavy rain and flooding. Add our climates humidity to the mix and you have the perfect termite conditions.

Because termites are so common it’s best to be prepared by having regular termite pest inspections done yearly. This helps you keep on top of things by making sure there aren’t any nasty termites hanging around. If there are termites detected and your last inspection was only a year ago then the damage will be minimal. Letting things go and then discovering termites that may have been in your home for a lengthy time could mean devastation. Not only will it cost you more to control them but the repair bill for structural damages could be huge.

Fortunately termite control in Brisbane is made easy with Termite Guys, your Termites Brisbane professionals. They explain in a way that makes sense exactly how termites operate and how the best way of attacking them is to sneak up on them. Termites themselves are very sneaky by nature, always concealing themselves within mud tunnels and staying away from open areas exposed to light. To combat them, we have to just as cunning.

Termite Control Methods For Brisbane

Annual Termite Inspections and Pre Purchase Inspection

Having regular termite inspections done is the most important step in termite control Brisbane. Queensland has a high termite population and as home owners it pays to keep that in mind and have termite inspections done yearly.

Treatments Used In Termite Control Brisbane

If a termite infestation is found then there a few options that your temite pest controller can discuss with you. Which termite control method is suitable depends upon your individual circumstances. Options such as termite barriers, termite baiting stations and foaming and dusting methods will all be discussed.

Termite Barriers

Termite Control Brisbane - BarriersA termite barrier is so important to absolutely ensuring your property is secure and protected and here’s why. Termites will travel a long way to get to a food source, sometimes hundreds of meters but if they detect a chemical barrier in your soil around your house they will stop. They won’t move through the soil as they have just detected something isn’t right, but they will continue to explore until they uncover even the tiniest entry point where the chemical may not quite have saturated the soil. They don’t care if it takes months or years, they have invested too much time in getting to this large food source (your house) to just give up. It is not in their nature to give up. They will find a way around this barrier somehow.

A Termidor chemical barrier however is entirely different. Termite Guys Brisbane won’t recommend anything else because nothing works like Termidor. Termidor is a non repellant chemical barrier, meaning the termites can’t detect it’s in the soil. It is water based and has no odour which is the sneaky tactical maneuver we have needed in our fight against termites. Termites will happily move through the soil, continuing to forage around completely unaware that they are picking up the chemical in the cuticle of their skin. They continue on, spreading it to other termites and eventually back to the nest. This is called the transfer effect.

The good thing about Termidor is that termites don’t actually have to ingest or come into contact with Termidor directly to die from it.  Termites that come into contact with Termidor collect it on their bodies and pass it on by making contact with other termites. Termites are social insects that live together in large colonies and feed and groom each other and that is how it is passed on.

This is why Termidor out performs every other termicide on the market and the reason why Termites Brisbane only use Termidor.
Termidor will not only eliminate all current termite activity (including the nest) but will continue to protect against termite entry for at least 8 years.  Termidor also controls termite populations more rapidly than baiting systems which rely on attracting termites in the first place to begin to work.

 

Termite Monitoring and Baiting Stations

Termite Control Brisbane - Baiting StationsBaiting is a method used to eradicate termite colonies.
The baits are placed in the ground, around the entire house, to monitor for termite activity in the yard. We intercept feeding termites at several points in the yard or home and introduce a bait designed to eliminate the colony.

 

 

 

 

Foam and Dusting

Termite Control Brisbane - termidor DustingThese methods are very effective in working when other methods cannot be used. Hard to get at and awkward areas where termites are can be hard to reach with traditional methods, however foam and dusting makes reaching termites easy.

Dusting with Termidor dust and using an expandable foam are two methods that can be used to reach termites in hard to get to areas. For example termites might be within your walls and these methods are quite effective in reaching them at that source.

Included below is a video showing a termite infestation in the pylons and wharf at Shute Harbour in the Whitsundays. It shows us how tenacious termites are and how they will stop at nothing to get to a food source.

It is also a perfect example of how a dusting application can be used with great results. Obviously a traditional termite control method such as a termite barrier or baiting is not going to work in this situation.

Termidor dusting is a very effective way or treating termites when other treatments can’t be used.

So don’t wait to be eaten out of house and home. Talk to Termite Guys, Termites Brisbane for your termite control Brisbane.
