Termite Prevention & Removal

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties in Maroubra annually, creating a large requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the house and the termites. Contact us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

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

It is of great importance to engage the expertise of a specialist termite exterminator to check out your house in order that the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly

The Telltale Warning Signs Of Termite Infestation

Here are some common signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall or timber
• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling or sub floor
• Termite nests & mounds in trees close to the structure
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that white ants are able to cause a lot of harm to structures. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a house unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
