Termite treatments
Termite treatments
Termite treatment may involve baiting and monitoring, barrier or soil work, targeted treatment or changes around the property. We inspect first, then compare these methods against the activity, building and access.
- Inspection before treatment
- Options matched to the property
- Product directions checked
What to expect
How we compare termite treatment options
We compare the treatment methods after checking the termite activity, building construction, access, site conditions and the product label.
Baiting and monitoring
Baiting can be monitored over time. We look at what the inspection found and whether the stations can be reached for each required check.
Barrier or soil treatment
The building, entry points, access and product-label requirements all matter when considering barrier or soil work.
Targeted activity treatment
Treatment may be focused on areas where activity is found as one part of the termite plan.
Property risk reduction
Fixing moisture, drainage, ventilation or timber contact can help reduce the conditions that suit termites.
The process
What we check before choosing treatment
We look at the activity, the way the property is built, access and the conditions around the building.
-
01
Inspect the termite activity
We check the areas we can reach for activity and damage.
-
02
Check the building and access
We look at construction, entry points, access and site conditions.
-
03
Compare the treatment methods
We compare baiting, barrier or soil work, targeted treatment and risk reduction against what we found and the product label.
-
04
Explain the work and follow-up
We explain the work, preparation, limits and any monitoring before you book the treatment.
What we look at
What we learn from the inspection
We look at where termites are active, what we can reach and what may be helping them get into the building.
- Where we found activity or damage
- Areas we could and could not inspect
- Anything that needs moving so we can inspect it
- Which treatment or monitoring work suits the activity, building and access
Common questions
Termite treatment questions
We inspect first, then explain which treatment methods suit the activity, building and access.
How is termite treatment chosen?
We choose the treatment after checking where the termites are, how the building is constructed, access, site conditions and the product label.
Is monitoring the same as treatment?
Not always. Baiting may include ongoing monitoring. Barrier, soil and targeted treatments work differently. After the inspection, we explain how each method applies to the activity, building and access.
Does an inspection automatically include treatment?
No. The inspection checks what is happening. If treatment is needed, we explain and quote that work separately.
What affects whether barrier or soil work can be used?
Entry points, construction, access, site conditions and the product label all need to be considered.
What areas should be accessible?
Please make it possible to reach the area of concern, nearby rooms and any roof or subfloor entry points.
