Termite Prevention & Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it important to call your reliable Westleigh termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal

There are several types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. 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 remedies are the more typical strategy to get rid of termites in Westleigh homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

It’s important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your premises and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and once again access the house.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

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

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

Ongoing 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 colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Eco-friendly
