Termite Extermination & Removal

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 properties in Lidcombe every year, making termite extermination so essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Lidcombe; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more information on the price for termite treatment and management.

In Lidcombe, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access via them once again.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not 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 used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
• Ecologically Smart

Signs That You May Have Termites

Here are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floor boards, ceilings, brick work and in subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants are capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a house. If the infestation becomes bad enough, your home could potentially become unlivable.
