Pest Control in Action: How to Tackle Termite Infestations
Have you ever wondered how professionals deal with termite problems? Our Pest Control in Action video series gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how we take on tough pest situations.
In this episode, Allstate pest technician Josh is tasked with conducting a termite inspection and installing the Sentricon termite management system at a residential property in Adelaide.
The termite control process
Inspection
Josh begins by thoroughly inspecting the interior of the home, checking for any signs of termite activity or damage. While he finds high moisture levels in the front room shower tiles (a conducive condition), there are no active termites or termite damage detected inside.
Roof void check
Next, Josh enters the roof void to closely examine this area. Pleasingly, he finds no termites, rodent droppings, or evidence of any other pest issues up in the roof space.
Sentricon installation
With no immediate termite threats identified, Josh proceeds to install the Sentricon system as a preventative measure. After marking out the station locations with the homeowner, he digs into the soil around the property’s perimeter and places the discrete Sentricon bait stations at strategic points.
Ongoing monitoring
To maintain maximum termite protection, the Sentricon system requires regular monitoring by Allstate technicians, who will inspect the stations every 3 months and replenish baits as needed. Based on his assessment, Josh recommends the homeowner continue with annual termite inspections.
The result
Allstate’s trusted Sentricon system provides reliable protection and monitoring to keep termites at bay. Josh’s diligent work has given this home a strong defensive line against potential termite infestations.
