Protection & Prevention Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Mortlake each year. That’s why termite protection and prevention is very important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Call us today to learn more about the cost of termite protections.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in Mortlake homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

It is important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to look at the situation.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to get the help of the most experienced termite protection team covering the Mortlake area. We will assist you to make an educated decision about this crucial service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Green

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

These are the common signs you have termites:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

What Damage Can Termites Do?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that termites are able to cause a significant amount of damage to structures. In fact, even just one nest of termites can render a dwelling unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
