Termite Treatment & Inspection Melbourne

We provide termite control, treatment, and inspection services in Melbourne with over 10 years of experience. Our pest control company handles everything from initial inspection to treatment, all the way to putting up long-term preventive measures such as sealing entry points. Termites are a big threat to buildings and properties, causing extensive damage by feeding on cellulose found in wood, paper, and other materials, and thus weakening the building structure. They can also cause allergic reactions to people through droppings and dust from damaged wood, and can lead to mold growth. If you’re looking for a reliable pest control service to help eliminate and treat termites, get in touch with us today.

How Does The Infestation Work?

Termite infestations typically begin when the previous colony reaches maturity and produces termite swarmers (also known as alates). These swarmers have wings and will leave the nest in large numbers to look for new suitable area to establish colony. Once found, the male and female swarmers will pair up, mate, shed their wings, and establish themselves by building up nests using wood, soil or a combination of both that provides the necessary moisture and protection.

The queens will then begin laying eggs, which hatch into larvae. These larvae then develop into worker termites that look for food, water, build tunnel, and take care of the queen and other colony members. As they keep on expanding the nest, they will dig more holes and tunnels, causing further structural damage to the property. The cycle repeats and before you know it, they have taken over the building and thus, needed to be treated and removed.

Elimination Tips

Small to medium termite nests and colonies can be removed by yourself using the following tips:

Identify the infestation areas by looking for signs of termites such as mud tubes, wood damage, etc. If the areas are found to be moist (due to leaky pipes, etc.), make sure the fix areas as well because they thrive in such environment.
Choose either to treat the termites using chemical or non-chemical methods. Non-chemical method treatments can be done using Nematodes (microscopic worms that feed on termites) or by applying Boric acid, which is a natural insecticide that disrupts the termite’s digestive system. For chemical methods, you can opt for commercial insecticides or termiticides to spray the infestation areas.
Once they are all eliminated, the last step is to clean out all the dead bodies and wood debris that was left by the termites.

Hire Us For Effective Treatments

If the infestation gets out of hands, you might want to hire a pest control company like us to help control and remove termites in Melbourne.

The overview of our procedures are as follows:

Thorough inspection: First, our pest control team will perform a thorough inspection to identify signs of infestation, entry points, extent of the infestation, and property’s structural strength.
Treatment planning: Once we have all the initial information, our team will come up with a tailored treatment plan based on your situation. For instance, if we find that there are subterranean termites, we may apply liquid termiticides to the soil around the foundation of the home. This creates a barrier that kills them as they enter or exit the area.
Baiting, termiticides, and fumigation: After coming up with the treatment plan, our pest control team will start with the control plan by first applying termiticides directly to the wood areas that kill the termites on direct contact. This is followed by installing bait stations around the property to attract termites, which carry the poison back to the colony, leading to gradual elimination. If the infestation is severe, we may also use the fumigation treatment where the entire structure is sealed, and a gas fumigant is released to penetrate all the areas and kill them.
Preventive measures: Our pest control team will then clean the area and implement long-term preventive measures such as sealing entry points to prevent future infestation.
Monitoring and follow-up: After completing the treatment, our team will schedule follow-up visits to ensure the treatment is effective and to make adjustments if necessary.

The cost of using a pest control service in Melbourne for a full termite control and treatment is between $1,000-$3,000 per visit, depending on a variety of factors such as the type and extent of the treatment required, severity of the infestation, type of property, and more.
