Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties across The Spit on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments change with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Call us today to learn more about the cost of termite inspections.

In The Spit, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to check out your home so the damage can be fully looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Indications You Have A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and/or timber
• Wood that is damaged or disintegrating
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and/or in subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites or alates can be noticed swarming from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

It surprises many people to learn that termites can do a great deal of harm to buildings. In fact, just one nest of termites can render a building unusable if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call The Spit Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite inspection experts examine your The Spit home as soon as possible.
