Termite Treatment in Adelaide

Australia and Adelaide has the most destructive termites in the world, also called white ants, causing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage to homes and business each year, more than fire and flood combined. It’s estimated that one in five homes have had termites attack, including brick and steel-framed houses.

Termites continually and randomly forage from their nest in under ground tunnels in search of timber and other materials that contain cellulose. Termites gain entry into our houses through tiny cracks and crevices in, under and around your home.

So how can you protect your home from the threat of termites?

The first step is to arrange a Termite Inspection as recommended by the Australian Standards and CSIRO performed by our Qualified Termite Technicians to determine the risk of termite attack. If you know you have termites or would like preventative protection, we can arrange a free no obligation assessment and proposal for our Termite Control Options.

The Australian Standards and CSIRO recommend a termite inspection is performed on at least an annual basis and in some cases more frequent inspections maybe necessary depending on the risk of termite attack.

The Allstate Termite Inspection Service

Our Termite Technician use their experience and the on-going professional training we provide to carry out the most comprehensive inspection. While every home and property is unique we have developed a set checklist ensuring nothing is missed, before starting the inspection our Technician will talk you through the process.

• Interior – each room within the interior is checked top to bottom including doorframes, skirting boards, cupboards, floor surfaces and wall surfaces using a moisture metre, sounding tool and screwdriver.
• Roof void – where possible we gain access to the roof void thoroughly checking over the timbers using sounding tool and screwdriver.
• Subfloor – where present we highly recommend inspection of the subfloor spaces, most termite attack starts in homes and properties with subfloors. Access is gained by either cutting traps into the floor or by using our Borescope Technology to check for signs of termite entry.
• Exterior – the full perimeter of the house is inspected from the foundation edge to the fascia boards and everything in between using a sounding tool and screwdriver.
• Outbuildings – each and every outbuilding is inspected inside and out using a sounding tool and screwdriver.
• Grounds – the grounds of the house are inspected from landscaping timbers, gardens beds, trees, stumps and the fence line

On completion of the Termite Inspection Service our Termite Technician will explain the findings to you, then a detailed report is posted or emailed to you including photos and proposals for any Termite Control recommendations.

We will inspect the building and provide a comprehensive report on the following:

• Evidence of timber pests
• Severity of damage caused
• Susceptibility of building to infestation
• Remedial and protective measures required
• Further investigations required

Unless otherwise instructed, we conduct a non-invasive visual inspection of areas susceptible to attack by timber pest within the property boundaries.

Performed by our professional licensed inspectors, Allstate Pre Purchase Inspections are fully prepared, then emailed or faxed on the same day of inspection, exceeding the Australian Standard 4349.3.

We then supply you with detailed proposals outlining what and how we will perform your Termite Control Service.

How does Sentricon AlwaysActive Work

Installed strategically and discreetly around the home in the prime foraging areas, the Sentricon station provides a window into the world of the termites. The random and continuous foraging of the termites will be directed to the In-Ground stations.

The stations contain Sentricon IG Termiticide Rods which the termites find more palatable and more attractive than wood. The termites feed on the termiticide rods on mass, tunnel back to the nest all the while unaware that it is detrimental to their survival. The active ingredient in Sentricon AlwaysActive is what’s called an insect growth regulator, which means it is specific and deadly to termites, but safe to you and your family. Termites periodically shed their skin (moult), and this process is interrupted once ingestion of the Sentricon AlwaysActive occurs. An inability to moult results in the death of the workers, and ultimately leads to the elimination of the entire colony.

All of this takes place with minimal environmental impact. Although Premise is lethal to termites, its specific mode of action is non-hazardous for humans, pets and wildlife.
