Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to properties in Plumpton on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are different types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

There are various signs that your home suffers from a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and wood
• Timber is decaying or damaged
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of alates flying from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage.
