Termites represent a major threat to your Australian home or business property. When you discover that your home has been damaged by a termite infestation, you want solutions, and you want them fast.

It is important to take action quickly when termites are spotted, and in Nowra, a striking number of homes are affected each year. Knowing the tremendous risk of termites in this country, however, considerable research has been performed to create effective technology and advanced procedures to eradicate termites.
So the bad news is: you’ve got termites.
But the good news? You’ve got several options for treating this termite infestation and getting rid of these pests for good.

But First, Prevention

Even before you find evidence of termites on your property, it is important to be prepared. For residents of the Nowra and Shoalhaven, Termite Solutions offers termite inspections which can be completed regularly. This can provide an annual assessment to check your home or business for the presence or risk of termites.
In addition to frequent inspection, make sure your family is taking all possible steps to keep an infestation from occurring. There are plenty of ways to engage some DIY-termite control. Check out our guide for some simple termite prevention tips.

Our First Approach

In most situations, our team will apply less invasive methods before utilising heavy chemical treatments. Many of these methods are highly effective and have the benefit of being truly eco-friendly. These approaches have the best success when the termite infestation is caught early.
One innovative treatment option incorporates microwave technology and heat. Once a pest control expert has identified the location of the termites’ colony (by using radar), he or she can send the heat waves with great accuracy in this direction. Many customers support this treatment approach as it does not interrupt their daily lives and has no impact on the environment. However, this method is not foolproof. It does not always succeed in eradicating the entirety of the termite colony. As well, it is a process that takes a significant amount of time.
The next level of treatment for termites involves slow-acting baits which gradually weaken and kill the termites. These baits are put into areas where there is high colony activity in the hopes of attracting a large number of termites. These baits have a high rate of success in minor to moderate infestation situations. This method is especially effective if used in combination with the construction of physical barriers. These can ensure the termites are more likely to come into contact with the bait.

When More Drastic Measures are Needed

At Termite Solutions, we are committed to ridding your property of termites completely, whatever it takes. Sometimes, termites do not respond to the less-invasive attempts at their extermination. In such cases, more severe tactics are necessary. The next step involves directly spraying termites and the areas in which they reside.
In more extreme cases, we will work with a more intense method that consists of a higher volume of chemical usage through fumigation. These types of treatments take several days and require you to vacate your property during administration. Rest assured that we make every possible effort to try the least invasive treatment options which involve minimal interruption of your daily life.
