Prevention & Removal Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Colyton each year. That is why termite prevention and removal is so important.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Colyton; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details about the price for termite treatment and management.

In Colyton, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Smart

The Warning Signs Of Termite Infestation

General signs that your house is infested with termites:

• Small holes in timber panels or drywall
• Wood is damaged and disintegrating
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

How Destructive Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants is capable of causing significant amounts of damage to a house. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the structure may potentially become unlivable.
