In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Colyton every year, making termite prevention so vital.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. The two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the cost of termite preventions.

Generally, in Colyton, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger to children & pets
• Environmentally friendly

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Small holes bored in timber panels
• Damaged & disintegrating timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

How Problematic Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites is capable of doing a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes severe enough, your structure may potentially become unsafe.
