Termite Extermination & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Croydon each year, making termite extermination so crucial.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the residence and the termites. Call us today to find out more about the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Croydon, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It’s wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the building to look at the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. 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 places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

The Telltale Warning Signs Of Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the home
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Home?

Termites can do significant damage to the major structural components in the dwelling. If significant, the infestation can make the dwelling unsafe for use.
