On the road with Kiki – Episode 15
Kristian arrives at his first job where the homeowner is looking for options to supplement their existing termite protection system. Thankfully, with minimal timber around the perimeter of the property, Kristian finds that there is a low risk of termite activity. However, just to be on the safe side, he recommends a thorough inspection and provides a quote for a baiting system.
Next up, a door has fallen off the hinges at a rental property, and immediately Kristian spots obvious signs of termite damage in the door itself. After a general assessment of the property, it’s very clear that there is a large amount of damage. Kristian recommends a full termite inspection, followed by a 12-month treatment program which involves installing a baiting system both underground around the perimeter of the home, and fitting baiting stations to the affected walls inside. Depending on the species of termites involved, they’ll need a follow up every month or two, until the termites are prevented.
Then it’s back on the road to a biting insect assessment. A client with a backyard chicken coop has taken photos of small brown insects crawling around their home, and Kristian confirms that they are indeed bird mites. He recommends a two-visit treatment, 30 days apart, that covers all internal and external areas of the property to destroy the bird mite breeding cycle.
For the last job of the day in Unley, there’s termites in the skirting boards inside the home. Since the problem involves the boundary between two neighbouring homes, the owner will need to speak to their neighbour about the problem first. Kristian leaves them with two separate quotes for treatment.
