Termite Protection

In Australia, a termite barrier treatment, pre-construction or a baiting system is known as termite protection.

Termites cause more damage to homes than storm, flood and fires combined!

There's no doubt that fire and weather cause a devastating amount of damage, and each disaster that occurs is highly dramatic and emotional. In fact, more than 30,000 homes in Australia. are involved in a fire each year. Less dramatic - but no less disastrous - is the damage caused by termites.

While insurance can help recover losses from fires, floods, and earthquakes, but it is almost impossible to get insurance against termites. Unlike fire and weather catastrophes, when termite damage begins, it can remain undiscovered for years. But eventually it can lead to sagging floors or roof rafters, damaged skirtings boards with mud trails, cracked plaster or gyprock. Eventually, major repairs to the structure may be necessary.

Temidor termite treatments have been a reliable method of treatment over the past decade. By applying a termite barrier under and around the structure's foundation, subterranean termites are denied entry and forced to seek other food sources or starve. Coupled with the newer foam and baiting technologies, conventional treatments can provide years of protection against subterranean termite infestations.

Termidor® Termite Control:

Termites tunnelling in higher concentration treated soil areas abutting the building, are killed outright, within a few hours. Termites tunnelling in the outer reaches of a Termidor (lower concentration) treated soil area, cannot detect the chemical which readily sticks to the termites' body. These termites remain unaffected for a few days, before sudden death occurs.

Based on the USA and Australian field trials and laboratory testing, a treated soil barrier should remain termite control effective for at least 5 years, in most situations, if it is correctly applied at the rate required by the registered label. This means long term protection of a kind not able to be offered by any alternative termite colony baiting system.

Exterra Termite Baiting Systems

A termite baiting system offers an alternative to the conventional liquid treatment. This treatment involves positioning baiting stations (also known as monitoring stations) in the soil around a structure's exterior perimeter. Once the stations are installed they are monitored on a monthly or quarterly basis (depending upon whether the treatment is curative or preventive) by All Guard representatives.
