Termite Pest Control Minto

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Minto are encouraged to seek reliable termite pest control services.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

You can find several kinds of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Minto. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it is vital to get a reliable termite exterminator in to look at the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically 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 a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Eco-friendly

The Telltale Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Wood in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites can do a surprising amount of destruction. The house may even become unlivable as a result of the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, may be unrepairable.
