Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Croydon are advised to seek reliable termite control services.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Croydon; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to kill termites in Croydon homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is important to call in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though 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 used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Ecologically Smart

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Minute holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or sub floor
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (or alates) can be noticed leaving the nest
