Prevention & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties in Blairmount annually, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Blairmount; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more information on the price for termite management and treatment.

Generally, in Blairmount, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It’s important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Green

How To Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

A number of signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Small holes in timber panels
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Mud Tubes on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and in subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony
