TERMITE TREATMENTS
Termites forage for food over a large area (50 to 100 metres) in search of timber and work and live in a central nest. The worker termites partially digest the timber into cellulose before returning to the nest to feed the colony. Termites are commonly known as "White Ants". The Queen can lay up to 1000 eggs per day and can live for 25 years. The 2 main species that cause damage to homes in Brisbane - Ipswich are Coptotermes and Schedorhinotermes. Unfortunately, by the time most termite infestations are evident, major damage has already occured - early detection is imperative!! Termitebusters are one of Ipswich's major Termite Treatment Specialists.
ALL our TERMITE INSPECTIONS & TERMITE TREATMENTS are carried out to the highest Australian Standard AS3660.2 & AS4349.3
What not to do:
Do not spray the termites or termite damaged area with insecticide spray.
* This will make it harder to identify the species of termite, and will reduce the impact of our professionally applied termite chemicals designed to kill the nest.
Don't disturb them - just CALL US on 0408072250 and we will check your termite problem.
We use the latest Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera, enabling us to diagnose anomalies (potential termite nests) inside walls - it is a useful addition when combined with the knowledge and experience of our timber pest inspection (see the explanation in the "Termite" page).
We also use Termatrac - which shows movement behind walls - allowing us to pinpoint termite entry points, and possible termite nests.
Termite Treatment Termiticides
Our 2 most popular chemicals are Termidor and Biflex.
Termidor (www.termidor.com.au) is a big seller, because of its unique transfer effect.
Termidor does not repel termites, therefore they cannot avoid the treatment, and they can carry it back to the nest!
Termidor is less water-soluble, and binds more tightly to organic matter in the soil - meaning it has an extremely low leaching potential (from rain, or watering the garden)! Termite barriers using Termidor generally cost up to $1000-$2000 more than using Biflex ( as it is a more expensive chemical) - the choice is yours!
Biflex is our preferred, more affordable termiticide option. (www.fmcaustralasia.com.au)
1) Biflex (Bifenthrin) provides double action protection, and is a more affordable/cost effective option over Termidor.
2) Biflex not only creates a repellent barrier, but it also kills active termites!
3) The other advantage is that Biflex offers a longer protection period (up to 10 years) - you can choose to have Biflex applied at a higher concentrate (to Nth Qld application rate) - providing a longer life span.
4) Biflex, like Termidor, is less water soluble in the soil - meaning that once the chemical has dried, and become bonded with the soil, has an extremely low leaching potential by rain, or watering of gardens.
5) Biflex has a LOW ODOUR compared to other products. It's active ingredient has a very low volatility - meaning you shouldn't be exposed to airborne residues after the treatment - offering an environmentally friendly termite solution.
6) Biflex is very effective at low concentrations - independent CSIRO field tests have shown that competitive products would have to be used at least 10-20 times concentrationl levels to even match the stopping power of Biflex!
7) Biflex has a proven performance of over 10 years under Australian conditions
8) Biflex is Ultra-Lo-Odour, non staining, non irritant
9) Biflex is COST EFFECTIVE
80% of our customers choose BIFLEX over Termidor
BE AWARE!
Termites can attack and infest ANY structure! You, the homeowner, can alleviate the chances of termites entering your home, by adopting the following simple measures.
*DO NOT store timber, and timber off cuts under, or around your home.
*DO NOT cover the edge of a concrete slab with soil, or garden debris or mulch: this includes gardens built right up against external walls, or covering the weep holes in your brick work.
*FIX any water leaks around your home - moisture attracts termites!
*Termites LOVE timber retaining walls - carry out visual inspections periodically!
