Termite Protection & Pest Control

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in St Leonards annually. That is why termite protection and pest control is very important.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in St Leonards; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more information about the price for termite management and treatment.

In St Leonards, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

The Telltale Signs Of Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Wood in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants can cause significant amounts of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes bad enough, the dwelling could become unusable.
