Treat Termites
Above Ground Baiting
When termites are found where Above Ground Baiting can be used, our Technician will place bait stations nearby. Termites then eat the highly palatable bait and take it back to the nest. At this stage the “transfer effect” of the bait happens as they start to eat and share the bait. It infects the whole colony effectively eliminating it.
Bait used is non-toxic to pets and children.
In-Ground Baiting & Monitoring
In ground termite control Charlestown NewcastleIn-Ground Baiting stations are both a treatment & prevention system. Stations are placed around the perimeter of your home or business, wherever the termites are found. As with Above Ground Baiting the termites take it back to the nest, the transfer effect occurs and it eradicates the termite colony.
In-Ground stations need to be monitored every 3 months to make sure they are effective. We keep data on the termite activity at the stations on your property. If termites are found to be striking stations on your property we will increase the amount of visits to protect your home.
Bait used is non-toxic to pets and children.
Liquid Chemical Barrier
Liquid Chemical Barriers are very safe & effective but not suitable for all structures.
The Liquid Chemical Barrier is installed to the entire perimeter of the slab or base of each pier creating a continuous termite barrier. Chemical Termite Barriers are proven to eliminate termite activity within a structure and prevent future termite attack. Non-repellent termiticides are used – a highly targeted treatment that only attacks termites.
Your technician will discuss this option with you if it is viable.
Safe for Pets and Children.
