Termite Prevention & Removal

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Lewisham every year, making termite prevention so crucial.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Lewisham; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for additional information about the price for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to get rid of termites in Lewisham homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Green

Signs That You Have Termites

General signs that your home has a termite infestation:

• Little holes in drywall or timber
• Damaged & disintegrating wood
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

Can Termites Damage My Building?

When left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The structure may even become unusable because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may be irreparable.
