Termite Treatment Perth

Most subterranean termites operate from a central colony beneath the surface soil. In their hunt for food, termites will often construct galleries from the ground, over ant caps, and along pipes. Incredibly resourceful, these galleries can also be free-standing to reach food sources above ground. 

Termites will exploit small cracks and flaws in your home's concrete slab and piers to breach building foundations to reach structural timbers. 

Once these foundations have been breached, termites can pass through, often undetected, and attack parts of the building through the inside of wall cavities, under the floor, and in the ceiling.

We've already covered the affirmative actions you can take to rid your home any termite activity, for example, termite inspections, followed by using termite control services, barrier treatments, chemical treatments, or bait stations.

You can also help prevent future infestations by:

• Reducing the amount of moisture in your home and around your property.

• Fixing leaks, mould, and decay—and regularly inspect basements or dingy corners of your home.

• Decluttering your home of old papers, cardboard, magazines, and newspapers.

• Maintaining distance between soil and wood to discourage a termite attack on your furniture and your home's foundation.

• Using borate on wood (before priming or painting) as an effective termite repellent.

We recommend installing a termite barrier (physical or chemical barriers) or termite bait stations. Both are effective, long term, effective solutions, for homeowners.

The first course of action is to book a termite inspection, which will help us understand whether termites are present—and if any termite damage has already been caused. From there, we can determine the best treatment plan to get the job done quickly and effectively.

The cost of a termite treatment system in Perth depends on several factors, including the size of the property and the severity of the termite inspection issue.

For termite barriers, costs are affected by:

• the type of barrier, whether chemical treatment or physical, and the materials used for each.

• Any associated materials cost.

• The extent of the issue/size of the problematic area.

• Whether your home is pre-or post-construction.

• The extent of past or current termite infestations.

In Perth, WA, it is important to have your property inspected for termites and other timber pests regularly—about once a year or when you think you may have a termite problem.

Termites are hard to detect and can cause devastating structural damage to your property, so it's essential to eradicate them before they become an expensive problem.

Following the inspection, the treatment is usually completed in a day, and the termites start dying off within a day or two. Some cases require us to revisit a new property a number of times to complete the treatment effectively.

For most of our customers across Perth, termite treatments only can be effective for up to five years. That's why we offer five year warranties on our termite treatments, with the length dependent on the chemical used (and subject to annual termite inspections).
