Termite Protection & Pest Control

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

Termite Control & Protection

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for more information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to get rid of white ants in Kangaroo Point homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be forgotten.

It’s important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the property to evaluate the damage.

If you feel that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us to get the advice of the most experienced termite protection team covering the Kangaroo Point area. We can help you to make an educated decision about this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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 useful 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

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Signs You Are Facing A Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes in timber panels
• Wood that is damaged or disintegrating
• Mud Tubes on timber, floor boards, ceilings, brick work and/or in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Home?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants can do a surprising amount of damage. The building can even become unsafe due to the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can be irreparable.
