Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Northwood are encouraged to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Northwood; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to get rid of white ants in Northwood homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

It’s important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your premises and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs You Are Dealing With A Termite Infestation

There are various indications your house has a termite infestation:

• Holes in the drywall and wood
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub floor
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

Can A Colony Of Termites Damage My House?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) are capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes serious enough, the structure could potentially become unsafe.
