Termite Extermination & Removal

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes across Box Hill each year, creating a strong requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the colony. Contact us today to learn more about the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional treatment to kill white ants in Box Hill homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator visit the home to assess the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs You Are Facing A Termite Infestation

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

• Small holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the nest

Can A Colony Of Termites Really Damage My Dwelling?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants can do a surprising amount of damage. The building can even become unlivable as a result of the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
