Termites

[89gqpatrol4x4]

we use termimesh for work but all pest control companies will offer something similar. I think it is the simple things that will keep them away or a least identify them i.e. as I said keep gardens away, timber away, dry and off the ground. Termites love soft wood and damp conditions. Leave 100mm of exposed slab to the ground, a concrete path around the house is a good idea as long as it is below the weep holes. A physical and visual barrier is your best defence!

TERMIDOR Dust is also perfect for treating active termite bait stations. After treatment, the termites carry the dust particles on their bodies and eventually back to the nest (where ever that may be) via the unique Transfer EffectTM. Extensive Australian research proves that it takes as little as 2 to 4 weeks for total termite elimination. This is much faster than expensive baiting systems and you will not require numerous visits to achieve success.

The bait station brings them, you dust them and they do the job for you

I cringed when I saw this thread, my property is covered with termites. 90% of the trees (Stringy Bark) are infested by them. Thank god I have concrete stumps, top hats and follow the same advice as above.

The old rumour of termites dieing once they see sunlight is bollocks as well.

I have to cut up trees and split the wood down the back of the property in stages. Stack them and wait about 2 weeks for them to move on out of the split wood so I can bring it closer to the house....lol....Infestation at my place!

I check my house all the time and only found one trace of them in an oregon beam inside but the previous owner must of knocked it on the head long ago.

Just be careful of bringing fire wood inside or stacking it against the house too!

I built a vege garden frame and netting using hard wood 90x45.....In 6 months they chewed it out like balsa wood.

Yes I had my place treated with a barrier then two weeks laters hey came in, I have a concrete slab and the little bast#}ds ate through a crack in the concrete floor and into the timber floating floor, made a mess there and were treated then found them in the rear bathroom had them treated and then they came up and ate the floor in the activity room! I then changed pest companies and the guy found the nest within 10 mins and used Termidor on them, no problems since then but I am having 6 mthly checks till I feel comfortable. The first mob said they could not find the nest and had done the perimeter, the side of the house we found them on when the guy treated the house I actually asked if it had been treated as it looked undisturbed to me, seems I was right, my advice is if you use a pest co ask what they use as a barrier and to treat termites, Termidor is the best no doubt.

We should bombard the phone number with calls and sign the email up to questionable website newsletters.
