Prevention & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to properties across Parklea every year, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

You will find several kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to kill termites in Parklea homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It is important to engage the expertise of a specialist pest exterminator to check out your home so that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great 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 treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features 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 home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for the kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
