Types Of Termite Treatments

There are plenty of great methods for the treatment of termites, and we will cover all of them so that you get a good idea about the best methods for the treatment of termites in your home.

Liquid Termite Treatments

Our liquid termiticide treatments are safe for indoor and outdoor use, so you can have peace of mind while your kids or pets are wandering around the house. Your safety is a top priority in our choice of the anti-termite treatments in Melbourne, and all the chemicals we use come with safety certification. The liquid termiticide treatments not only provide immediate termite protection; their effects also extend for years to come to prevent re-infestation down the line.

Our liquid termiticide can also be used as a pre-construction preventive measure against termites, as it forms a protective barrier around your house that repels white ants. The treatment is also safe to be laid within your house’s foundations as well, so termites won’t make a comeback. It’s also worth noting that our termite protection experts use dedicated flow meters to measure the exact amount of the termiticide liquid delivered. By this means, we can guarantee that no spot is left unattended to, creating a potential entry point for future termite attacks.

Dry Foam

Wall cracks, areas surrounding water pipes, and concrete gaps are all potential hidden spots favoured by termites. Our liquid termiticide won’t be enough to address such high-risk spots; that’s why we add dry foam treatments to seal off any openings. The great thing about our dry foam termiticide is that it’s made from low moisture components. This way, the foam itself won’t soak up with water, creating damp spots that invite termite attacks.

Termite Baits

At Firstcare Pest Control, we can set carefully positioned bait stations that tap into the insect’s natural instincts and invite as many termites to consume the bait. The bait is then shared within the termite colony, affecting a large number of the white ants all at once. This way, the growth of the colony is stunted, until it no longer can sustain itself. There are two types of bait stations that can be used; one goes into the ground, and the other sits above the ground.

In-Ground Baits

Our Firstcare Pest Control experts will develop a plan to cover your entire house perimeter with the least number of bait stations possible. The unobtrusive stations are designed to allow termites to get in and out freely. Our technicians can then record termite activity across all the different stations, and according to the recorded level of activity, baits will be added to the stations that are frequently visited by the termites. The in-ground baits are effective pest management in outdoor areas, as they can be impeded into the soil. They’re usually applied near areas that favour termite growth like moist mud, decaying tree trunks, and the heads of irrigation sprinklers.

Above-Ground Baits

If the in-ground baits record high levels of termite activity, there’s a chance that the termites have already found their way inside your house. So, here comes the role of the above-ground baits that follow the same principles, but can be applied indoors. It’s worth noting that the bait used inside such stations is completely safe for kids and pets. Its formula is irresistible to termites, so it’ll be hard to ignore if there is any termite activity near the bait station. Termites then take the bait back to their colony to share with the others and bring demise to the whole colony.
