Extermination & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings throughout Duffys Forest annually, creating a large requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Removal

You can find various kinds of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to kill termites in Duffys Forest homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an experienced pest exterminator to check over your structures so that the damage can be fully looked at.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

• Wood in the structure has tiny holes
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite nest

How Destructive Are Termites?

In fact, just one nest of termites can render a structure unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
