Termite Protection & Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Sefton termite protection provider.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several kinds of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite protection in Sefton residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate benefits that should not be ignored.

It is important to engage the expertise of a professional termite exterminator to look at your house so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home can make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

How You Can Tell If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

Here are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Little holes in drywall and timber
• Wood is damaged or decaying
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Destructive Are Termites?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that termites are able to do a significant amount of harm to buildings. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a structure unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
