Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Rhodes every year, making termite control so crucial.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to kill termites in Rhodes homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it is vital to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants may identify the gaps and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

Typical signs that your property is infested with termites:

• Holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Timber is decaying or damaged
• Mud Tubes on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen swarming from the nest

Can Termites Badly Damage My Property?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The building may even become unsafe due to the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
