Termite Prevention & Extermination

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Abbotsbury termite prevention provider.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims 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 that try to make a barrier between the termites and the building being protected.

Generally, in Abbotsbury, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

To make sure the job is done right, it is advised to have a reliable pest exterminator in to look at the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

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

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids or pets
• Environmentally sound

The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

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

• Timber in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or subfloor
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees close to the dwelling
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) can do significant amounts of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes bad enough, the structure could potentially become unusable.
