Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive amount of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Freshwater are advised to seek quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Freshwater; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more details on the price for termite treatment and management.

In Freshwater, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

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

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Eco-friendly
