Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to houses across Summer Hill each year, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will going to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to kill termites in Summer Hill homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator visit the house to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated as a result of access issues, then termites may detect those breaks and attain access through those areas.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

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

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

• Tiny holes found in drywall and timber
• Wood is damaged and crumbling
• Mud tubes appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the nest
