Control & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings throughout Telopea every year, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Control & Protection

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Telopea; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Typically, in Telopea, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred method management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Wood in the building has small holes
• Wood is crumbling or damaged
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or subfloor
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the nest

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes bad enough, your house may potentially become unusable.
