IMPORTANT NOTE:

This only frightens them from the area but doesn’t eliminate the problem and it makes it more difficult for a termite professional to work out what is going on and to carry out a treatment.

Key steps in a termite treatment process:
- Comprehensive termite inspection
- Quote and termite treatment proposal
- Eliminate active termites from the building
- Install a termite management system to provide long term termite protection
- Annual termite inspections
Sometimes we will carry out a termite check before provide a quote, rather than carrying out a comprehensive termite inspection. However, in such cases, the need to carry out a comprehensive termite inspection will be included in the proposal and needs to be carried out before starting the treatment.
The termite treatment options available for your particular property will depend on the termite species, level of infestation, building construction, soil type and other environmental considerations.
When we eliminate termites from a building, we will always try and finding any termite nests on the property. However, this is very challenging as they often build their nests underground. In addition, we can never be sure that the nests we find are the ones attacking the building, so we always focus on making sure the termites are eliminated from the building. We use a variety of products to eliminate termites from the building – termite baits, dusts and foams – using the best product depending on the situation.
There are two types of termite management system – liquid termite treatments to the soil (“termite barrier”) or termite baiting systems. (More info in FAQ).
*To maintain termite treatment warranties, homeowners must follow all recommendations from the termite inspection report, any requirements to maintain the termite treatment and Fumapest need to carry out a professional termite inspection every year.
Termite treatment products
Termites VIC only use the best products from leading manufacturers. These products have been tested extensively and have been used to protect millions of homes in countries around the world (as well as in Australia).
The key products we use:
- Products for treating termites and protecting existing homes:
- Termidor
- Termidor HE (High Efficiency)
- Trelona termite bait
- Sentricon AlwaysActive termite bait
- Products for protecting new buildings and renovations:
- Kordon termite barrier
- Termseal
Termite “barrier” is the old name given to liquid termite treatments to the soil around and under homes. This was because the old chemicals used were repellent to termites and so created a “barrier”. However, the latest termite chemicals such as Termidor are non-repellent to termites, which is a good thing! The termites cannot detect the chemical in the soil and actually get killed if they enter the treatment, which is why it is now called a “treated zone”.
