Protection & Treatment Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings in Pyrmont each year, creating a large need for termite protection.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Give us a call today for additional information on the price of termite protections.

Typically, in Pyrmont, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of a professional white ant exterminator to check out your home so the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs You Are Dealing With A Termite Infestation

Here are the telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Timber in the home has holes
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Mud tubes appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the colony

Can A Colony Of Termites Really Damage My Dwelling?

When left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The dwelling may even become unusable due to the significance of the issue, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
