Baiting for termites has significantly reduced the amounts of highly toxic pesticides that needs to be placed around homes and has also reduced the amount of damage that is done to install those pesticides.
One of the most common termite speies in the Sydney basin is Coptotermes spp these termites are attributed with causing the most damage of all termites in Sydney.
A ver good up side of having your home attacked by these termites is that they are the species that we deal with the most, and therefore we more about these termites and how they respond than any other termite spp.
On average Coptotermes spp termites will take ten weeks to eliminate the colony. The actual time taken to complete destruction of the colony is much closer to four weeks, however the technical definition of colony elimination includes two visits to check the stations, where there is no activity present. Visits are generally three to four weeks apart.
Whilst it takes time to eliminate the colony, research tells us that once termites start to feed on our bait they will stop feeding on timber and therefore stop timber damage. A very handy little side effect.
You will benefit greatly from having a termite baiting and monitoring system installed as once you have eliminated those termites currently attacking your home you will then be able to ensure that no further termite attacks can happen to your home. Check this video to see just how a monitoring system works. http://www.pestec.com.au/Nemesis-termite-baiting
