Termites on the Green in Arundel


One would think that an afternoon on a golf course would be best spent hitting away at few golf balls whilst enjoying a few cold beverages - but in this instance in Arundel, the only thing the CTS team were hitting were colonies of termites in this termite-ridden home situated within a golf course. No real alarms were raised as it all started with some simple discolouration in this Arundel home's garage.

The owners had previously spent $7,000 on a chemical barrier. On a recent inspection conducted by the professionals at CTS, they uncovered 4 colonies of Coptotermes munching away at the garage walls, floors and ceilings. The existing barrier proved ineffective, particularly against the notorious Coptotermes species which can cause up to $1,000 worth of damage to a home in a week.

After careful investigation and evaluations by the CTS technicians, it was concluded that a comprehensive baiting strategy must be implemented as well as a complete new barrier installed to protect the home against further attack both now and in the future. CTS only use the best in barrier protection and stand by the effectiveness of their treatments and installations.

By installing a barrier that was more suitable for the design of the home and closely monitoring the active areas, CTS was successful in eliminating the colony and containing the damage these Coptotermes had caused. Needless to say, an effective monitoring strategy has been implemented moving forward and the owners of this Arundel home were kept on par thanks to the team from CTS Termite & Pest Control.
