Prevention & Protection Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. Once they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it important to call your trusted Woodcroft termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

Chemical remedies are a more typical treatment to kill termites in Woodcroft homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

To make sure the job is done right, it is crucial to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony 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 activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids & pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How You Can Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

There are various indications your house suffers from a termite infestation:

• Holes in timber panels or drywall
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and/or in subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites or alates may be seen leaving the colony
