Do you have a problem with termites? If so, you’re not alone. Termite infestations are a common issue across Australia. While there are many ways to get rid of these pests<\/a>, not all of them<\/a> are effective. Still, if you have a termite infestation, it is important to get rid of them as soon as possible, so let’s discuss your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to get rid of termites, you need to assess the situation and find out where they are coming from. This is not always easy, as termites can build their nests in many different places. Once you have found the nest, you need to destroy it. This can be done by using a shovel or another type of tool to break it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you cannot find the nest, you will need to inspect your property carefully. Look for signs of termite damage, such as holes in wood or mud tunnels. These are usually a good indication that there are termites nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One way to get rid of termites is to set up termite baits. These are devices that attract termites and then kill them. There are many different types of termite baits, but they all work by attracting termites with a food source and then poisoning them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two most common types of termite baits are those that use boric acid and those that use a slow-acting insecticide. Boric acid is the more effective of the two, but it can be dangerous to humans and pets if it is not used correctly. The slow-acting insecticide bait is safer for humans and pets but is not as effective at killing termites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you decide to use termite bait, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. Baits can be bought from most hardware stores, but it is also possible to make your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInspect your property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
