Protecting Your Home Against Termites?

And are extremely thorough, our residual termite treatments are Australian Standard compliant. Reliable and professional termite protection firm, it makes sense to choose a reliable termite protection system that is applied by an accredited, as more than one in three homes in Australia get infested by termite. Earthquakes and floods every year, storm and tempest, termites cause more damage than fire.

And a termite protection plan for the individual property can be prepared, the design and construction of the property can be assessed, during the inspection. It all starts with an inspection of the home as per Australian Standard 4349.3 by a properly qualified technician to see what the extent of termite activity and damage is.

Termites don't discriminate and don't have any respect for fencing or boundaries. Or even how to protect your home from high risk areas that are within the boundaries of your neighbour's property, we will always advise you after we have completed our inspection on what action to take on "high risk areas" within your property.

We prefer to use non-repellent Termidor for concrete areas treated by a drilling and injection technique. Drill spacings must be no more than 300mm apart. The labelled volumes are 10 litres of termiticide for each metre drilled, with drilled areas. But Australian Standard and label compliant volumes must be achieved to stand any chance of treatment success, concrete areas can be drilled.

Rates of application

The concentration of chemical may be doubled and the volume applied halved. e.g, with correspondingly lower rates of application, concentrations greater than those prescribed may be used, to compensate for impervious soils such as clay where application of these rates would cause run-off. For a vertical barrier; and at 100L/m² for a horizontal barrier, registered chemicals shall be diluted to the required label concentration and then applied to the soil or fill at the prescribed label rates of 5 L/m².

What happens when the soil isn't properly prepared?

care must be taken to prepare the soil with consideration of the factors below; Termites may enter your property through gaps in the protected zone and not be affected . This can lead to breaches of the chemical barrier.

Soil Preparation

The soil shall be prepared as follows: and to permit percolation into the soil to a sufficient depth to deter termites from breaching the barrier, to allow the required distribution of the applied chemical,

Removable formwork and other waste materials shall be removed from the area to be treated, building debris, all timber off-cuts, (a) Removal of contaminants.

The surface of the soil shall be scarified along the contours to form furrows to a depth of not less then 50mm to 80 mm or a 50 mm minimum layer of sand shall be used to retain the applied chemical, and on sloping sites where run-off of the chemical mixture is likely to occur, where penetration is likely to be slow, sloping sites On clay soils, (b) Clay soils.

Sometimes it may be best to cut concrete and replace clay soils with organic soil mixtures rather than drill concrete and inject termiticide into heavy clay soils. Some sand should be introduced and mixed with an organic soil mix so that Termidor crystals may be bonded to the soil, . NOTE: all clumps of clay should be broken up or removed from the area.

Horizontal barriers

(a) be a minimum of 150mm wide to a minimum depth of 50mm unless otherwise specified on the registered label;

(b) abut the substance walls on both sides;

(c) surround all other connections between the building and the soil;

(d) cover all areas of sub floor soil where there is inadequate access (see Clause 2.5.3 of Australian Standard For Termite Protection) or where there is less than 400mm clearance:

(e) and be continuous beneath a concrete slab-on-ground or on fill.

Following these recommendations may save your home from becoming a statistic!
