Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Emu Plains are encouraged to seek quality termite control services.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

White ant control in Emu Plains homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of a specialist white ant exterminator to check over your structures so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

If you think that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to receive the advice of the most experienced termite control team covering the Emu Plains area. We will assist you to make a well informed decision about this vital service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within 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 that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though you don’t 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

Typical signs that your building has a termite infestation:

• Minute holes in the drywall and timber
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• Evidence of mud tubes on brickwork, timber, ceiling and subfloor
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the building
• Swarms of alates flying from the termite nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants can cause significant amounts of damage to a house. If the problem becomes serious enough, your structure could become unlivable.
