• Termites Are Destructive

Termites are one of the most destructive pests that can invade your property. It literally can eat all the wooden structures inside and under your property. If the problem is left untreated, over time, the damages will accumulate and become irreversible leaving you with huge repair costs.

For most people, the first thing they notice when they have a termite infestation is minor issues like cracks in the walls or uneven flooring. What most people do not know is that once the problem has reached this far, it has become pretty serious.

To avoid expensive repairs and severe damages to your property, it is crucial to contact our Termite Treatment Sydney team as soon as possible. Schedule a professional inspection appointment right away. It is always a good idea to regularly get your property inspected by professional technicians to make sure that your place is termite-free.

• Termite Infestations Can Be Difficult to Spot

Most types of pests prefer to stay hidden for most of their lives. Termites are very skilled in staying out of sight. They stay hidden because they usually live in places where homeowners never pay a visit and even forget they exist in their homes.

Subterranean termites prefer to stay in contact with the soil where there is moisture that helps them to survive. They usually build their colonies under homes where there is soil and near your property’s walls that are in close contact with the soil.

Homeowners who visit the crawlspace of their properties usually notice the early signs of termite infestations. It is important not to ignore signs like mud tubes or damaged wood. Some homeowners overlook these obvious signs and consider them natural and part of the aging process of their properties.

Unless you are qualified to spot termites signs, there is a high chance that you will not notice them, which puts your home at high risk. The Local Guys – Termite Inspection Sydney Team is the best way to discover all the invisible signs of termite infestations.

Effective termite inspection, treatment, and prevention require professional help. By hiring our Termite Treatment Sydney team, you will save a lot of time, frustration, and money.

First of all, our Termite Inspection Sydney team will perform an in-depth inspection of your place to determine the location of termite infestations and assess the severity of the damages. After that, we start treating your home. Each termite infestation is unique, but there are 3 standards methods of termite treatments that we follow.

• Soil Treatment: Since subterranean termites prefer living in the soil, termite treatments are applied to the surrounding soil to act as a barrier against further invasion of your home. Our Termite Treatment Sydney exterminators will dig a trench around the foundation of your property, treat the soil with a termiticide, and then refill the trench. This type of treatment is crucial to prevent termites from finding their way inside your home in addition to killing the termites that try to get back to the soil to nest.
• Wood Treatment: Our Termite Treatment Sydney Team uses different wood treatments to eradicate the existing termites inside wooden structures and prevent any other termites from getting into them again. There are various wood treatments including surface sprays, injected sprays, and foams. Also, some wood treatments include surface applications that can be used during the construction phase of your property building. Wood injections and foams are used after the home is already built.
• Bait Systems: Bait termite treatments systems are highly recommended for clients who want to destroy termite colonies and prevent any future infestations. Our Termite Treatment Sydney Team will install bait stations around the perimeter of your property and make sure that your home is safe from current and future termite infestations. Of course, we recommend Exterra baiting systems because they are the best on the market nowadays.

Once our Termite Treatment Sydney Team finishes their job, termites will be gone after a few days completely. The most severe termite infestation takes up to 6 days to be gone completely.

Unfortunately, no. When it comes to termites, DIY treatments are not recommended. Despite the fact that there are many treatments available, it is better to contact our Termite Treatment Sydney Team for the following reasons:

• No Warranty: Our Termite Treatment Sydney experts are accredited to use certain products that are not available to the public from manufacturers such as Exterra. These suppliers and manufacturers offer warranties to accredited pest controllers such as our Termite Treatment Sydney Team.
• Lack of Experience: DIY methods and techniques are all the same when it comes to termite treatment. Our Termite Treatment Sydney Team will determine the best treatment plan according to your needs.
• Risk of Further Damage: Homes are the biggest asset for most people. Therefore, you should not risk it by performing the treatment in an ineffective way. If you do not have the proper experience and knowledge, you will disturb the termites. When disturbed, termites just relocate their nests to another location and keep making more damage to your property.

Incorrect Installation: Our termite treatment Sydney team has the proper training to install all kinds of treatment options. People think that they can follow the online guides and do the job perfectly, which is not true in almost all cases.

It is crucial to determine the type of infestation at your property in order to use the right products and techniques. When it comes to termites, we should differentiate between flying ants and winged termites since some flying winged ants may appear as winged-swarming termites.

Here are some points that we use to differentiate between them.

• Both species have 4 signs. However, termite wings are equal in size while winged ants have larger front wings than the back ones.
• Ant’s antennae are elbowed while termites’ antennae are straight.
• Termite wings are larger than their bodies while ant wings are shorter.

Ants have distinct bodies with a head, thorax, and abdomen because they have thin waists while termites appear to have a head and body because of their broad waists.

• Many conditions can attract termite activity. All of them are considered food and water sources. Most homes include the perfect conditions for termites to live and breed. The factors that attract termite activity include:
  • Homes that were built with timber framing.
  • If there are timbers in your yard such as timber sleepers, timber play equipment, old tree stumps, timber fencing, etc.
  • Excessive moisture due to water leaks and poor drainage.
