Protection & Prevention Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Westmead termite protection provider.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments alter with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Contact us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Westmead. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is vital to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your premises and evaluate the damage.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Contact us to receive the assistance of the best termite protection team covering the Westmead area.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

There are several indications your home suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Minute holes in drywall and/or timber
• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and/or in underfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (or alates) can be noticed swarming from the nest

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

It surprises many homeowners to discover that termites may do a significant amount of harm to buildings. In fact, just one colony of termites can render a dwelling unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
