Protection & Control Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of The Ponds are advised to seek quality termite protection services.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

You can find different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In The Ponds, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the house to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on result.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
