Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Cornwallis every year, making termite control so vital.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the home and the termites. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Cornwallis, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is of great importance to engage the services of an experienced termite exterminator to check over your home in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

The Telltale Indications Of Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your dwelling is infested with termites:

• Little holes found in drywall or timber
• Damaged & disintegrating timber
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and in underfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) are capable of doing a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes severe enough, the property may potentially become unusable.
