Dry Wood Termites
This termite is native to Southeastern, West Indian regions, and also found in the desert areas. These drywood termites that are also commonly known as furniture termites, primarily feed on furniture wood. Don’t underestimate them by their small colonies, as these are also highly destructive termites, compromising the structural integrity of your wood and causing wide spread property damage.

Tailored Treatment Options are Available
Our Termite Pest Control Port Melbourne services provides tailored treatment options uniquely suited to the termite infestation in your home. Our Termite Control Port Melbourne experts will inspect your home and property and assess the damage. After this, they may recommend two solutions: 1) A quick fix 2) Complete treatment. Remember, quick fixes only treat the areas of visible termite damage and only offer short term relief. However, if you want long-lasting protection, the only solution is to go in for a complete treatment.
Under complete treatment, you have the following six methods that are used:
Spray treatment
In this, a spray is used directly on visible termites. The non-repellant spray variety, which is not detected by termites, is the most effective treatment for exterminating termites. Our Termite Control Spray Services is excellent at exterminating termites using Spray treatments.
Foam treatment
Foam penetrates all areas underneath the wood, efficiently killing the termites and wiping out their colonies. You can even reach hard-to-reach areas with this solution.
Dust Treatment
In this treatment, multiple holes are drilled in different areas, and dust is applied. These holes are covered up. Termites contract infections from the dust and die within. Our Termite Protection team is very effective at this type of treatments.
Full Treatments
We use this option to eradicate entire termite colonies.
Termite Barrier Treatment
Under this treatment, non-repellant chemicals are applied to the pathways, soil, and property slabs. Termites carry this poison to their nests, which helps destroy the colony. This is an expensive treatment where the cost depends on the property size, location, and construction of your property. Our Termite Barrier treatment is most effective and reasonably priced to fit every budget.
Termite Baiting Treatment
This effective long-term treatment involves placing baits within active termite nests and colonies. When a termite is detected, a powerful termiticide is released, killing the termites instantly. Our Termite Pest Control Port Melbourne services continuously monitor the baits.
The factors that affect termite treatment costs in Port Melbourne
Our Termite Exterminator Cost depends on the choice of the termite treatment. We have outlined various treatment options in the above section for your convenience. The cost of the termite treatment depends on the following factors;
- Property Size: The size of the property is a important determinant of the cost. The larger the property and mor difficult the access, the higher is the cost. You can opt for either quick fixes, by their very nature, that are less costly, or complete treatments that provide more sustained, long-lasting relief, albeit at a higher cost.
- Location of the property: If it entails great effort to reach the property, then the cost of pest control treatments is higher. If there are access challenges in your property, the costs will be correspondingly higher.
- Construction of the property: If the property consists of multiple stories or has a high moisture content, then extensive measures are required to exterminate the termites completely.
- Type of chemicals used: The types of chemicals and pest control treatments used also have impact on the total cost. The larger the area to be covered, the more expensive the chemicals, the higher the cost of termite treatment, and vice versa.
- Regular Monitoring: If we need to conduct regular monitoring and prevention, the cost will increase accordingly. Sporadic interventions cost less.
All things considered, the cost of doing termite control is reasonable compared to the property loss and damage that termites inflict.
