PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY’S TIMBER
Expert Termite Control & Elimination Solutions
Knowing the Different Active Termite Treatments When It Counts
Wood is a natural material containing cellulose, a food source for termites, which is susceptible to attack by wood-boring insects, such as termites and beetles. Control and elimination are both necessary treatments in which systems and exclusive products are used to protect timber house frames, structural timber components such as laminated beams, roof trusses and internal skirtings and mouldings from being damaged. Experience in the field of termite infestation, including active termite treatments, involves using the best chemicals available. This allows professionals to guarantee treatments in and around your home, including external patios and pergolas.
EFFECTIVE TERMITE MANAGEMENT
Proven Solutions to Eradicate Termites
Knowing the Different Active Termite Treatments When It Counts
There are many different types of termite management systems available on the market to eradicate termites. Not all of them are effective or are very costly and involve regular visits by a pest technician to monitor activity.
Termites are generally found upon having your annual termite inspection. If this is the case, our technicians will dust all active termites with a registered termiticide. This will slow down the foraging process of termites and allow what we call a transfer of chemicals to all active termites within the infested area. The dusting process is generally applied in wall cavities, termite-damaged skirting boards, door jams, and window reveals and is taped up to ensure termites are not disturbed and go back to the nest. This is important to allow time for the dusting application to take effect.

POST-TREATMENT GUIDELINES
Ensuring Complete Termite Eradication Before Repairs
In the event of your home sustaining damage to timber components, it is important to wait for 6 to 8 weeks before repairing termite-damaged areas. Again, this period of time will allow your chemical barrier system to work with the transfer of chemicals from active termites to the nest, which is generally underground. Our Technician will carry out a further inspection between 6 to 8 weeks after the initial treatment to confirm all active termites have been eradicated. From this point, you are able to carry out rectification work to restore your home to its original state.
Maintain Your Termite Barrier
It’s important not to disturb soil-treated areas as the chemical molecules bond to the soil around the perimeter of the dwelling, creating a complete termite barrier protecting your home for up to 8 years. SureSafe PEST MANAGEMENT will send annual reminder letters to ensure you continue to have your annual termite inspection.
