Termite Treatment – What’s involved & where to next !

 

1. A visual Termite Inspection must be completed to all surrounding areas including the structure prior to any termite treatments carried out in Brisbane, because without an inspection you really have limited knowledge of what’s happening in and around the home as termites are normally hidden well inside the walls. 

2. Termite Treatment, Once termites have been located the best solution is to engage a licensed Termite Management technician to a treatment, a unique process that involves the use of a registered chemical like Termidor.

3. On completion of the live Termite Treatment, the areas are closed up ie taped and covered to minimise any  disturbance to the working termites.

4. How long should we wait to open up Termite Treated areas? Once the initial treatment to live active termites has taken place, waiting at least 3 -4 weeks is required to give the termites time to travel back and forth from the treated site to the nest to assist in the process of eliminating the colony, Termite nest.

5. The importance of a re inspection of the treated areas. A further invasive inspection is best completed after the treatment by a qualified builder they have the expertise in determining the extent of Termite Damage located. All areas treated should be opened to allow a visual inspection of all damaged areas to 1. Check for live active termites 2. Determine structural damage 3. To find termite entry points to minimise any potential risks going forward.

6. Once the property has been checked and assessed by a qualified and licensed builder and the all clear has been given, then a Termite Barrier and or or an Interception & Baiting System can be installed to protect long term.
