Termite Protection & Control

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings throughout Croydon on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Termite Removal

There are various types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will going to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is important to engage the expertise of an experienced white ant exterminator to check out your residence in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger to kids & pets

• Wood in the house has holes
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
