Protection & Pest Control Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Alexandria each year. That is why termite protection and pest control is essential.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. The two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Give us a call today for more information on the price of termite protections.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Alexandria. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it’s crucial to have a reliable white ant exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, 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 often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Ecologically Friendly

The Telltale Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your property has a termite infestation:

• Holes in timber panels
• Wood that is damaged and breaking down
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the colony
