Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Give us a call today for more information on the cost of termite inspections.

Typically, in Artarmon, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets

Common Indications You Have A Termite Infestation

• Wood in the structure has tiny holes
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that termites may cause a lot of harm to buildings. In fact, a single colony of termites can render a structure unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
