Whyalla’s choice for reliable termite control
Termites
If an army of termites threatens to tear through your home, you’re not alone. Hynds Pest & Weed Control takes this threat seriously, and for good reason. Homeowners who ignore these tiny home wreckers soon discover the costly damage inflicted by a termite attack. Sometimes known as ‘white ants’, termites literally feast on the foundations of your property, eating away at its structure. Left untreated, they can cause extensive damage and eat you out of your home.
Termite colonies are rightly feared as the most destructive pests that can attack your buildings. In Australia, termites pose a significant danger, especially to all timber structures. The good news is that we have the knowledge to help protect your property from infestation damage. Whether you’re looking to tackle a termite problem, or want to take measures to protect your home from a possible infestation, our team are experts in termite control within our local community.
Termite defence
We use several methods to help defend you against a termite invasion. Termite bait stations can be installed around the perimeter of your property. Once the termites consume the bait, they die, and you’re on your way to effective control.
A chemical termite barrier involves the application of a liquid chemical to the soil, either under concrete flooring or around the entire perimeter of the building. Physical termite barriers are used when you are building or adding a new extension to your home or business premises. They’re designed to stop subterranean termites from hitching along pipe penetrations and entering your home in the first place.
For maximum protection, we use high-quality products. For example, we can install HomeGuard Blue Collars to all penetration parts on building sites, or spray David Gray’s liquid termite barrier before new slabs go down.
Termite damage
Papery or hollow sounding timber is a common sign of termite activity. Others include a tight-fitting door or hard-to-open window, cracks in the cornice or door jams, or evidence of termite ‘mud’ tunnels.
If you’ve noticed these telltale signs, we’ll come to your property and perform an inspection to identify the source of the infestation. Our trained professionals will then provide the most effective treatments, backed by our Termite Warranty. Call us to defend your home today!
