Termite Prevention & Removal

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties in Airds every year, creating a strong need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal & Management

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call now.

In Airds, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is vital to get in a professional termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants will detect those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing 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 colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
