Prevention & Protection Against Termites

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

Termite Control & Protection

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

White ant prevention in Clyde residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have the white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

So you know you have a termite problem and need the most effective prevention available in Clyde? Do you want to get a experienced termite prevention service in Clyde? We can help you to make an informed decision on the best options for your residence as well as providing very competitive pricing.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the property.

The often commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, 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.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically sound

Signs That You May Have Termites

A number of signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Timber in the structure has tiny holes
• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the structure
