Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings across Croydon annually, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the residence and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in Croydon homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to check over your home so that the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

If you believe that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call and get the help of the best termite prevention team covering the Croydon area. We will assist you to make an informed decision on this important service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, 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 are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

Here are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged or decaying
• Mud tubes appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites can do an unexpected amount of destruction. The house may even become unusable as a result of the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
