Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Greystanes every year, making termite inspection so essential.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several types of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a specialist pest exterminator to check over your property so the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can not be treated due to access problems, the termites can identify the breaks and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony 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 white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
• Environmentally sound

How You Can Determine If Your House Is Infested With Termites

These are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall or timber
• Damaged & decaying timber
• Mud tubes appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites or alates can be seen swarming from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants can do a surprising amount of destruction. The dwelling may even become unusable as a result of the significance of the problem, and in the extreme, may be irreparable.
