Termite & Pest Control Solutions Townsville

Active termites on a property can be eradicated completely using a chemical that spreads throughout the termite colony.

We’ll also return to your property within 14 to 21 days to ensure the treatment was successful.

Physical and/or chemical barriers such as ant capping, Termimesh, Kordon, Termguard, or Termseal can be installed to prevent termites from getting in and attacking the home.

Chemical barriers create a liquid repellent barrier that stops termites from entering your property. We repel termites using a chemical called Termidor.

Termites can’t detect Termidor. As they forage through the soil getting closer to your home, they will unknowingly come into contact with Termidor.

Termidor kills termites through contact and ingestion. Infected termites will carry the chemical back to their nest and pass it on to others, potentially killing the entire colony.

Termidor which has a life expectancy of up to 8 years.

A general pest spray can help eliminate cockroaches, silverfish, webbing spiders, and household ants.

Following a treatment, pests will start to die over the next 3 to 6 weeks after coming into contact with the chemical residue.

Inspections are recommended at least once per year.

Depending on what is discovered duriung your initial pest inspection, you may be advised to undergo more frequent inspections to keep your propety safe.

In terms of using DIY termite treatments, the answer is no.

All of the DIY termite treatments available off the shelf contain the same chemical base which are designed to repel termites instead of killing them outright.

This does not get rid of termites because:

1. The termites are not affected in any way, nor are they killed off;
2. The main nest or colony is not killed off, and;
3. Termites will eventually find another way into the property as termites will simply manoeuvre “around” or “under” the treated area as they can detect it
