Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Mount Pitchard each year, making termite extermination so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Contact us today for additional info on the cost of termite exterminations.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites from your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding result.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building will make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger to children & pets
• Eco-friendly

The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Wood in the home has small holes
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling or subfloor
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
