Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Hurstville every year, making termite extermination so important.

Termite Removal & Management

You can find different types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Hurstville homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

It is vital to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Eco-friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

There are several indications that your house suffers from a termite infestation:

• Holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees close to the house
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

In fact, a single colony of termites can render a dwelling unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
