On the Central Coast
THE FACTS
Termite Treatment on the Central Coast
Termites can cause serious structural problems in your home and all areas across the Central Coast are at risk of termite infestation or damage.
Termites play a fundamental and valuable role in our ecosystem. They are natures most valued recyclers. The burrow and aerate the soil which allows rain water to seep into the soil and allow for nutrients to mix in with another.
The main role of Termites is to feed on cellulose found in dead plants, and their sticky excretions hold the soil together, preventing soil erosion. By feeding on dead plants they therefore place dead plant matter back into the soil allowing for new, healthy plants to grow.
Their role is fundamental for our environment but their role can be destructive for our homes which is why it’s best to treat termites before they commence nesting in your garden or near the foundations of your home.
Our team of Termite Experts will assist with sourcing, treating and managing your termite problems ensuring you have peace of mind every 12 months.
We highly recommend yearly treatments occur to ensure any further infestation from occurring.

The Pest Control Life Cycle
Pests are around our home, inside, outside, in the roof and under our houses, which is why it makes it so important to have your yearly pest treatment completed at your home, but also a termite inspection if your house is constructed with timber in, or around it.
So, how does our pest treatment work?
Crawling insect surface sprays work on the principle that after spraying an area, a thin layer of insecticide remains as a residue on the surface. When an insect walks across this surface, they pick up the insecticide on their legs and body. The insecticide either enters their body directly or as a result of grooming and the insect dies.
The speed of kill depends on the amount of insecticide they pick up and their susceptibility to the insecticide. However, even on a freshly sprayed surface, the insects don’t pick up much insecticide and it will take minutes or even hours for the insect to die. It is therefore quite possible for homeowners to see insects walk across treated surfaces with no apparent effect.
However, assuming the insect has picked up enough insecticide, they will eventually die.
