Effective Termite Solutions To Protect Your Property

Termite invasions are frustrating, costly, damaging and downright devastating if they are not detected early. Eating from the inside out, termite damage is often substantial by the time it is detected if proper preventative methods are not put in place. In a matter of months termites can destroy million dollar homes.

Chemical termite barriers are highly effective methods for combating termite infestations around your home or structure, offering prolonged defence against termite attacks, giving homeowners peace of mind. Certain chemicals not only repel termites, they also effectively eliminate them and their colonies.

GEKA Pest Management are your trusted professionals, specialising in termite treatment, prevention and solutions. With over 25 years local experience across the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and Tweed Coast, we’re committed to providing optimal protection against these destructive pests.

Installing a chemical termite barrier typically involves the following steps:

Prepare the area:
Clear away any debris from the perimeter of the structure for the chemical barrier to be effective. This may involve removing gardens against the structure, tree roots, vegetation, soil, mulch, rocks, retaining timbers or other materials or obstructions from the area to be treated that could interfere with the application of the termiticide.

Create a trench:
Dig a trench around the perimeter of the structure to be treated.Typically the trench is dug approx. 150mm wide and down to the footings of the structure. Any tiled or concrete areas abutting the structure must be drilled to Australian standards 3660.2-2017, allowing the termiticide to be injected.

Chemical reticulation system:
In some soil areas around your home, there is anoption of laying reticulation pipe for the ease of future chemical recharge of the chemical barrier system.

Apply the termiticide:
GEKA Pest Management only use the best when installing termite barriers. We use Termidor as it is considered the #1 non-repellent termiticide on the market for treating termites protecting the structure. Once Termidor is applied correctly, it will last up to 8 years and kills termite colonies within 90 days.

Backfill the trench:
After the termiticide has been applied, backfill the trench with the treated soil. Make sure the soil is evenly distributed and compacted to ensure proper coverage of the termiticide barrier.

Treat other vulnerable areas:
If there are other vulnerable areas around the structure, such as utility pipes or plumbing penetrations, GEKA Pest Management will apply the termiticide solution directly to these areas as well to create a continuous chemical barrier.

Follow-up inspections and reapplications:
Regularly inspect the treated area for signs of termite activity, and reapply the termiticide as needed according to the manufacturer’s instructions or as recommended by GEKA Pest Management.

Termites are social insects that feed on cellulose-based materials, such as wood, and can cause significant damage to buildings, furniture, and other wooden structures if left unchecked.
