Treatment For Termite Infestation

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of St Marys are advised to find quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

There are two main strategies performed for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the building and the termites.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or locations can not be treated because of access difficulties, the termites can detect the gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant 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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids or pets
• Ecologically sound

How To Identify If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

Several signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Little holes found in drywall and timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest
