Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Prairiewood annually, making termite prevention so crucial.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for more information on the price of termite preventions.

White ant prevention in Prairiewood homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is of great importance to engage the expertise of an experienced pest exterminator to check over your home in order that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs That You Have Termites

There are several indications that your house suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall or wood
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floor boards, ceilings, brick work and in subfloor areas
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the nest

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

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