Termite Protection & Treatment

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Blair Athol every year, making termite prevention so vital.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier between the termites and the building being protected.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Green
