Sunnystate Pest Control Brisbane, Queensland

Accredited Applicator of Termidor HE

Termidor HE Accredited Applicator

Sunnystate pest control is an accredited applicator of Termidor. This gives our customers the confidence that their home is properly protected from termites.

There are many different types of termite barriers we can install around a home, when using a liquid termiticide this is called a chemical barrier.

For all of our chemical barriers, we only use Termidor HE as this gives the best defence against termites. The term (HE) stands for (High Efficiency) this is because of the way this new formulation penetrates the soil.

The most valuable asset you will ever own is your home and keeping it intact should be priority number one.

Termites can cause a huge amount of damage to a home in no time at all. Don’t let your home be a victim to termites have it properly protected.

As with all termite barriers regular termite inspections are still required. Inspections are the most important aspect of any termite management program.

Termidor HE 

Termidor HE is an advanced highly effective product that makes protecting homes from termites easier with less impact.

The productTermidor has always been recognised as the leading product for termite technicians. BASF launched Termidor in 2002 and has continued to develop the product.

Now with their new formulation of Termidor HE, it’s even better as it moves through the soil easier.

How It Works

Termidor HE uses advanced polymer technology this increases the transport of the active (Fipronil) throughout the soil. This gives a much greater protected zone around a structure with more reliability.

Termidor is a non-repellent and is also undetectable to termites. The termite workers will then carry it back to the nest. It’s then spread throughout the colony and this is called the transfer effect.

Over a short amount of time, an entire colony will be eliminated. When a whole colony is destroyed it takes the pressure of termites away from the house.

BASF Protection

The manufacturers of Termidor HE (BASF) are so confident in their product they back it with a 2-Million dollar warranty.

This warranty shows just how good this product really is and should give peace of mind to homeowners.

This product has been used around hundreds of thousands of homes for 15+ years. And there has never been a product failure in that time.

This is why BASF is able to place a 2-Million dollar warranty on this product. The warranty is backed by BASF and only accredited applicators can offer it.

Conclusion

Termidor HE gives a new level of protection in all situations when protecting homes and commercial buildings.

It’s important to use an accredited applicator to take advantage of the full protection this product provides. Backed by BASF’s 2,000,000 dollar warranty it makes sense to use this advanced product.

To keep your home safe from the jaws of termites always insist on Termidor HE.

Conducive Conditions

The third part we’ll look at is the (Conducive Conditions) section on page 7 of this report. This is an important area to read carefully. This section will give details of any problems around the home that may be conducive to termite activity.

The conducive condition section, will detail the interior and exterior and also vegetation found against the home.

Let’s get these areas into perspective as many people are scared off by the finding in this part of the pre-purchase building and pest inspection report.

This section gives suggestions or recommendations of what is needed to make the home better positioned against termite attack. It’s not saying there are termites present just ways to prevent them. If termites are present they will be mentioned in the (Termite Issue) which we’ll come to next.

If no live termites have been found then this section of the report is the most important. The reason being is that it gives recommendations on what needs to be done around the property.

Drainage Issues

The most common issues are going to be drainage issues. These can be caused by faulty down-pipes or air-conditioning system draining to the footings.

Anything that will cause water issues around a house should be mentioned in the report. When this section is read and understood correctly an informed decision can be made on the purchase of the property.

Serious drainage problems can be very costly to repair and they will also attract termites. Conducive conditions will also refer to vegetation around a home.

Where there is a build-up of vegetation against external walls the higher the chances of termite activity. It’s always recommended in termite report to clear vegetation away from external walls.

Heavy vegetation and mulch can also block weep-holes. Termites can gain concealed access to a house via the weep-holes. When this happens serious damage can because before they are detected.

This is why this section of the report needs to be read thoroughly. Sort out the areas of concern as marked in the report as it will make your home more termite resistant. Have a look at the image below it will give an idea of what a report will say.

Termite Issue

The final part of the report we will look at comes under (Termite Issue) on page 9. This is only ever present if termite activity has been found during an inspection.

This area of the report is self-explanatory it will highlight a termite issue. Details of the termite species found should also be present in the report along with its location.

Knowing what type of termite is present will determine the course of action for treatment. In the report below the species Coptotermes was found in the sub-floor of the house. This is the most destructive termite found in Brisbane and they need to be treated properly.

Where termites have been found a termite proposal which is a treatment plan will be issued along with the termite inspection report.

The treatment plan will give details on the type of treatment necessary. The treatment will include a colony control and a full termite barrier.

Important – choosing a company for your pre-purchase building and pest inspection

Which company to use for a pre-purchase building and pest inspection is something to consider.

One thing to remember is that builders aren’t termite inspector and vice versa. It’s best to hire a company that has separate inspectors one for the building and one for the termite report.

This way you know your hiring experts in their field I’ve written an article on this before click here to learn more.

Conclusion

The main points to take out of this article is to read your report carefully. If you don’t understand the report ask the company that issued it to explain it.

Most companies are happy to fully explain the findings of a pre-purchase building and inspection report.

The better you understand the report the better decision you can make. Buying a house isn’t a cheap exercise these days. You don’t want any unexpected cost after the purchase like repairs from termite damage.
