Termite Prevention & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly cause a lot of damage, making it essential to call your reliable Willoughby termite prevention provider.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Willoughby; either the production of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are a more typical treatment to eliminate termites in Willoughby homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It’s important to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated places. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
• Ecologically Smart

Common Signs You Are Facing Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall and wood
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub-floor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites is capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The building can even become unlivable due to the significance of the issue, and in extreme cases, can even be irreparable.
