Termite inspection in Macarthur

http://www.pestec.com.au/
Termite inspections are as important in Macarthur as elsewhere in Australia. The CSIRO says that homes on the Eastern seaboard of Australia are at high risk of termite attack. Sydney, Wollongong and the Southern Highlands including areas such as Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale all have homes that are equally at risk.The Macarthur area takes in Camden, Narellan and Oran Park along with other suburbs and Campbelltown being on its outskirts.Camden and Narellan are known to have a termite species that is more prevalent locally than elsewhere, that species is Nasutitermes spp. Nasutitermes are found in many areas but high numbers exist in Macarthur. Specialist treatment is required for this species of termite as several different brands of termite control pesticide have been proven to have failed to gain control of them.An appropriate prevention system must be put in place when it is established that Nasutitermes are present. A baiting system is good defence, as is a chemical treated zone when the construction method allows for it.Regular termite inspections are a must for ensuring ongoing control of all termites but particularly Nasutitermes.
