Termite Protection & Inspection

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Point Piper annually, making termite protection so crucial.

Termite Removal & Management

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Typically, in Point Piper, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred method management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

To make sure the job is done correctly, it’s advised to have a trusted termite exterminator in to assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for children and pets

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

These are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Holes in timber panels
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, timber, ceiling or sub-floor
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees near the dwelling
• Winged termites (or alates) can be noticed leaving the colony

How Destructive Are Termites?

If left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The home may even become unusable due to the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
