Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to homes across Paddington every year, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the white ants. Call us today for more information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Paddington homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

It is of great importance to engage the expertise of an expert white ant exterminator to look at your structures so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Environmentally friendly

How You Can Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall or wood
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

Termites can do significant damage to major structural elements in the home. If significant enough, the infestation can make the structure unsafe for habitation.
