Termite Extermination Punchbowl

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Punchbowl are encouraged to find quality termite extermination services.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Punchbowl; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional strategy to kill white ants in Punchbowl homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be forgotten.

It is important to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the house to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco friendly

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

What Damage Can Termites Do?

It surprises many people to learn that white ants could do a great deal of damage to structures. In fact, even a single nest of termites can render a dwelling unsafe if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Punchbowl Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite extermination specialists inspect your Punchbowl house ASAP.
