Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes in Castlereagh each year, creating a large need for termite inspection.

Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the termites. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with various treatment options.

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

To ensure the job is done correctly, it is essential to have a trusted termite exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly

Signs You're Facing Termite Infestation

Here are the signs you have a termite infestation:

• Holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys 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 can do a great deal of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes bad enough, the structure could potentially become unlivable.
