Termite Treatment Forest Lake

Protect Your Home: Termite Treatment Forest Lake

When it comes to household pests, there’s one that you need to keep out above all else. It’s not cockroaches, it’s not ants and it’s not flies (although it is best when these aren’t around). Termites are the most concerning of pests because they can cause thousands of dollars of property damage in as little as a few weeks, and this isn’t covered by general home insurance.

Forest Lake is a hot spot for termites due to the surrounding vegetation, our sub tropical climates also creates an environment highly conducive to termites. Taking the step to protect your home from termites is a necessary precaution for any homeowner.

When it comes to termite management, there are two common paths. The traditional is organising pest inspections on an annual basis. Whilst this is a worthwhile solution, a thorough inspection service can range from $250- $400 depending on your home size and termite treatment plans can cost between $2000 to $4000.

The alternative is installing termite bait stations to monitor activity and checking them yourself. TermiGold is a safe and effective method that you can use to protect your home from termites. Developed by leading pest management specialists CTS Termite & Pest Control, it uses the same highly effective bait used by professionals and contains no toxic ingredients and is completely safe for your family and pets. There are no airborne residues, ensuring little impact on your daily living.

Our bait stations are made using 100% recycled plastic and come with Tasmanian Oak timbers, cardboard spreaders and a screwable lid. To help you learn all there is to know about termite management, we’ve created a variety of tutorials that cover inspection, installation, baiting and more. Armed with this knowledge and resources, you can be assured you’re prepared for when termites come along.

Are There Termites in Forest Lake?

Forest Lake was Brisbane’s first master-planned community and its bush, creeks, parkland and walking tracks make it one of Brisbane’s most livable suburbs. However, all the parks and spacious blocks of land create the ideal environment for termites. They use the trees and soil to build their mounds (nests) and tunnels. The risk is highest after humid weather and rain as the wet grounds become the perfect habitat for termites to start their colony and go searching for food — which could mean your home!

Forest Lake is home to the destructive subterranean termite species Coptotermes acinaciformis. Termites look very similar to ants but can be distinguished by their white to light brown colour with a yellowish head. Check out The 3 Most Destructive Termite Species in Australia to learn more tips on identifying these species in your home.

Queensland is a very high-risk area for termites due to its warm tropical climate, and invasive pests are common across Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.

Your Termite Control Solution — Bait Stations

Unsuspecting homeowners can easily be caught out as termites are very good at hiding their activity. Keep a lookout for the first signs of termite damage — mud-covered window sills or doorways, bubbling paint and mud trails. You can learn how to carry out a termite inspection like a professional here.

After you conduct your termite inspection, you’ll want to keep up the monitoring with bait stations. Termite baiting is a simple way to monitor and treat termite activity.

To install termite stations, create a perimeter around your home, separating them every 3 meters. If you discovered a colony during your inspection, you can apply bait directly onto that area. Leave it to work its magic and check back in 3-4 weeks to see the results. For more information, check out our Tips & Tricks where we provide detailed guides and in-depth knowledge to teach you how easy it is to take termite prevention into your own hands.

After you use all your bait, you can readily restock more. You can also reach out to us anytime for assistance and our friendly team can discuss your situation.
