Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Sefton annually, making termite pest control so vital.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the termites. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to eliminate white ants in Sefton homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is of great importance to engage the services of a professional termite exterminator to look at your property so the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated due to access issues, then white ants will detect those breaks and gain access via those areas.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

It surprises many homeowners to discover that termites could cause a lot of harm to buildings. In fact, just one nest of termites can render a dwelling unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
