Termite Prevention & Control

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Asquith annually, making termite prevention so essential.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Asquith; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for additional information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Asquith homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

It is important to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
• Ecologically friendly

Signs You're Facing A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Small holes found in drywall or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The dwelling may even become unusable because of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can even be unrepairable.
