Pest Control: Then Versus Now

At Termite Free Naturally, our pest control in Brighton, Reynella and other areas is based on something called the John French Method. However, when most people think of termite eradication, they think of exterminators spraying the ground and other surfaces with toxic chemicals.

This method was the old way of dealing with termite or white ant infestations. Not only is this approach dangerous for people, animals and plants alike, but it is also ineffective. Termites usually build their nests in trees, stumps or other dark, contained places. In other words, termites don’t live in the ground. So, while spraying the ground with chemicals might catch a few termites, it won’t eliminate them all, and it won’t hit the colony at its centre. Even spraying termites where they are feeding will only kill some of a termite colony. To eradicate the infestation entirely, you should target the source.

The John French Method is what we use for pest control in Glenelg and Marino because it doesn’t revolve around spraying chemicals randomly and hoping for success. Instead, the John French Method of pest control uses natural, chemical-free baits to attract termites and detect their presence on a property. These baits give termites exactly what they want—a food source of quality timber—which draws them out effectively. The John French Method then coats these termites in toxic dust, which the termites carry back to their nest. These poisoned termites act as little Trojan horses, rendering their nests vulnerable and efficiently eliminating most (if not all) of the colony.
