Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly cause a lot of damage, making it important to call your trusted Mount Colah termite control provider.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Mount Colah; either the creation of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

In Mount Colah, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to children & pets
• Ecologically Friendly

How To Determine If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

There are various signs your home has a termite infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Mud Tubes on the wood, floor boards, ceilings, brick work and in subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

Termites may do significant damage to the structural elements in the house. If severe enough, the infestation can make the structure unfit for habitation.
