Termite Removal/Management Systems

You can find different kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite prevention in Illawong residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and access the property.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Wood in the building has holes
• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• Evidence of mud tubes on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub floor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite nest

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The home can even become unsafe because of the significance of the problem, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
