Termite Extermination Glen Alpine

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties in Glen Alpine every year, creating a large requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Glen Alpine; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the price for termite management and treatment.

White ant extermination in Glen Alpine residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Environmentally Smart

Common Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Here are the telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall and/or timber
• Wood that is damaged or decaying
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling and sub-floor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Building?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants can do a surprising amount of destruction. The house can even become unusable as a result of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
