Protection & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings throughout Forest Lodge annually, creating a strong requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Forest Lodge; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more info about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to kill white ants in Forest Lodge homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

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

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• Ecologically sound

Common Signs That You Have Termites

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Timber in the structure has holes
• Damaged or decaying wood
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

Can Termites Badly Damage My Dwelling?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The structure may even become unlivable due to the significance of the problem, and in extreme cases, may be irreparable.
