Termite Protection Minto

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly cause a lot of damage, making it vital to call your trusted Minto termite protection provider.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Minto. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will 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.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

Common Signs That You Have Termites

There are various indications your house has a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and timber
• Damaged & crumbling timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming to and from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one colony of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The structure can even become unusable because of the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, can even be irreparable.
