Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Oatley each year. That is why termite control and treatment is essential.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the house and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more typical treatment to eliminate white ants in Oatley homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

It is wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to look at the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

How To Determine If Your House Is Infested With Termites

A number of signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Tiny holes in drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling and sub-floor
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants can do significant amounts of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes serious enough, the house may become unlivable.
