Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Cheltenham annually, making termite protection so essential.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the price of termite protections.

Termite protection in Cheltenham homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is vital to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

If you believe that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us to receive the help of the best termite protection team covering the Cheltenham area. We can assist you to make a knowledgeable decision about this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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