Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive amount of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Alexandria are encouraged to find quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to kill termites in Alexandria homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the termites will identify the breaks and attain access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Ecologically sound

The Signs Of Termite Infestation

• Minute holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Wood is decaying or damaged
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest
