Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of South Granville are advised to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in South Granville; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

In South Granville, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the house.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect 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.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs You're Dealing With A Termite Infestation

• Timber is decaying or damaged
• Evidence of mud tubes on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub floor

• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen leaving the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
