Protection & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings in Arcadia annually, creating a large need for termite protection.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Arcadia; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

White ant protection in Arcadia residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling will make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly
