Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to houses throughout Northwood on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal & Management

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Northwood; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more info about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to get rid of white ants in Northwood homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It is important to call in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your home and evaluate the damage.

If you think that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Contact us to get the help of the best termite protection team covering the Northwood area.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The regularly frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

How To Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

These are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes in timber panels or drywall
• Wood is damaged or disintegrating
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in underfloor areas
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Home?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The house may even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, can even be irreparable.
