Preparing For Your Termite Treatment

Termite Treatment – What to Expect and How to Prepare

Treating Active Termites

If active termites have been confirmed, prompt treatment is the next step. Our licensed team will tailor a plan based on the species involved and the extent of activity.

Treatment Types

Chemical Application

• EIdeal for less aggressive species (e.g. Nasutitermes) 
• Applied directly to affected areas or nests 
• Follow-up visit in 2–4 weeks to confirm elimination

Above-Ground Baiting Program

• Best for aggressive or widespread species (e.g. Coptotermes) 
• Bait stations installed at key locations 
• Monitored every 3–4 weeks until colony eradication (several months) 

Your technician will explain the chosen method on the day and answer any questions.

How to Prepare 

• Don’t disturb the affected area 
• Ensure access to subfloor, roof void, and any previously inspected zones 
• If bait stations are installed, do not move or interfere with them 
• Clean floors and surfaces the day before treatment to avoid interfering with application

Pets and children

• Please keep pets and children away from treated areas for at least 2 hours, or until all treated surfaces are completely dry 
• For baiting programs, ongoing supervision is important to ensure baits are not tampered with 

After Treatment

• Avoid cleaning treated areas for 48 hours unless otherwise instructed 
• You may notice an increase in activity as the treatment takes effect 
• Follow-up visits may be scheduled depending on the treatment pathway

We’ll provide full aftercare instructions during the visit.
