Prevention & Extermination Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Lavender Bay annually. That is why termite prevention and extermination is essential.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the residence and the termites. Contact us today to find out more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

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

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution

The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your property has a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall and timber
• Wood is crumbling or damaged
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floor boards, ceilings, brick work or in subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The building can even become unsafe because of the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, can be irreparable.
