Treatment For Termite Infestation

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 Phillip Bay every year, making termite extermination so vital.

Termite Removal & Management

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Phillip Bay; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Typically, in Phillip Bay, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Warning Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

There are various signs your home has a white ant infestation:

• Holes in timber panels
• Damaged & decaying wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling or subfloor
• Trees in the area show signs of nests & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants is capable of causing a lot of damage to a dwelling. If the infestation becomes serious enough, your property could potentially become unlivable.
