Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Alexandria each year. That’s why termite removal and prevention is essential.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Alexandria; either the creation of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite treatment and management.

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

It is wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator visit the property to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations can not be treated due to access issues, then white ants can identify the gaps and attain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs You Are Dealing With A Termite Infestation

Here are the telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floor boards, ceilings, brick work and in subfloor areas
• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

It surprises many homeowners to discover that white ants can cause a lot of harm to buildings. In fact, a single nest of termites can render a building unusable if the problem is severe enough.
