Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Turramurra each year. That’s why termite prevention and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Management

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

In Turramurra, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is necessary to have the white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

So you know you want termite prevention, and you’re looking for the most efficacious treatments that Turramurra can offer?

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas can not be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants can identify those breaks and gain access through those areas.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the location 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 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to children & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall and/or timber
• Wood is damaged and crumbling
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites can cause quite a lot of damage to a building. If the problem becomes severe enough, the structure could become unusable.
