Termite Treatment & Protection

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Artarmon each year. That’s why termite extermination and pest control is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the house and the termites. Call us today to learn more on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access problems, then termites will detect the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may 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 Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically Smart

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

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

• Small holes in timber panels
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling or subfloor
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Building?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The house may even become unlivable due to the significance of the issue, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
