Prevention & Inspection Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Granville annually. That’s why termite prevention and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Granville. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs That You Have Termites

Typical signs that your residence has a termite infestation:

• Wood in the building has small holes
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees near the dwelling
• Winged termites or alates may be seen leaving the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Dwelling?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) are capable of doing a great deal of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes bad enough, the house could potentially become unusable.
