Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Blackett annually. That’s why termite protection and removal is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

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

Typically, chemical treatments the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Blackett. However, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if 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 these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

Here are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall or timber
• Wood is crumbling or damaged
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub-floor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) are capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes severe enough, your home could potentially become unusable.
