Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings across Whalan every year, creating a large need for termite control.

Termite Removal

There are various types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

White ant control in Whalan residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is important to engage the expertise of an expert termite exterminator to look at your residence so the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and access the house.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
• Environmentally Smart

Signs That You Have Termites

There are various indications your property has a termite infestation:

• Holes in timber panels
• Damaged & disintegrating wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the nest

How Destructive Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants is capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a house. If the problem becomes severe enough, the house could become unlivable.
