Termite extermination in Sydney

Exterminating termites in Australia is known as termite control. Extermination is an often used word coming out of the USA which is not incorrect but little used in this country. Where we use the term termite control, termite extermination is fine to be inserted.
Now that we have got that out of the way, killing termites is a serious business. When termites are accessing your home by some out of the way subterranean route, no one can afford to try and carry out control measures themselves, it is too easy to mess up and the cost of messing up can be extreme termite damage to your home. Termite control should be left to the professionals and should always be carried out with the following in mind.
  1. A termite inspection is necesary to enable the termite expert to be able to fully assess the situation and recommend the appropriate solution.
  2. Termite colony control measures must be undertaken when live termites are found. It is of no use to carry out a preventative type treatment when the termites are still actively working in the building. It just does not work.
  3. Preventative measures must be undertaken when colony control has been achieved, this may take the form of a chemical treated zone around the home or a "greener" monitoring system placed around the home. either way continual ongoing maintenance must be undertaken to ensure that a re-infestation cannot occur.
