Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to homes throughout Sydney on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite protection.

Termite Removal

You will find various types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going 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 wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Sydney, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It’s important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids & pets
• Ecologically Friendly

How You Can Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

There are many indications that your home suffers from a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the house
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite colony

Can Termites Damage My Building?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) are capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a home. If the problem becomes severe enough, your home could potentially become unlivable.
