Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your reliable Minchinbury termite prevention provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are different types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Minchinbury, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is necessary to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

So you already know there is a termite problem and want the very best prevention on offer in Minchinbury? Do you want to get a reliable termite prevention service in Minchinbury? We can help you to make the right decision on the best options for your property in addition to providing affordable pricing.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

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

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

Signs You Are Dealing With A Termite Infestation

There are several signs your property suffers from a termite infestation:

• Timber in the home has tiny holes
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites or alates may be noticed leaving the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

It surprises many people to learn that white ants are able to do a great deal of harm to structures. In fact, just one nest of termites can render a building unusable if the problem is severe enough.
