Termite Control
Subterranean and drywood termite treatment with soil barriers, baiting systems and post-construction protection.
Overview
Termites work quietly. By the time you notice sagging door frames or hollow skirting boards, a colony may have been feeding inside your walls for months. Our termite programme starts with a proper site inspection, because treating termites without first mapping their entry points and activity zones wastes your money and leaves the colony intact.
Depending on what the inspection finds, we use soil barrier treatment, direct wood treatment or baiting systems. For new constructions we provide pre-construction soil treatment that protects the slab and foundations before the first brick is laid.
Signs you may need this service
- Mud tubes running along walls, beams or foundations
- Hollow sounding timber when tapped
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or sag
- Discarded wings near window sills and light fittings
- Blistered or rippled paint on wooden surfaces
- Fine powdery frass beneath wooden furniture
How the treatment works
Site inspection
A technician inspects the structure, probes vulnerable timber and maps active galleries and entry points before any treatment is proposed.
Treatment plan
Based on the findings we recommend soil barrier injection, wood treatment, baiting or a combination, matched to the construction type and severity.
Application
Chemical barriers are injected at measured intervals around and beneath the structure. Baiting stations are placed where inspection showed foraging activity.
Monitoring
We schedule follow-up visits to confirm colony decline and top up bait or barrier points where needed.
Safety measures
We use termiticides registered for structural use and apply them at label rates only. Injection points are sealed after treatment, and technicians brief you on re-entry times for treated rooms. Products are selected to bind to soil rather than leach into groundwater.
Before your treatment
- Clear items away from walls in areas flagged for treatment
- Provide access to the perimeter of the building, inside and out
- Move stored timber, cardboard and paper off the floor where possible
- Keep children and pets away from work areas during application
After your treatment
- Avoid washing treated skirting and injection zones for 48 hours
- Do not disturb or open baiting stations
- Report any new mud tubes between visits so we can respond early
- Keep garden soil and mulch from piling against exterior walls
