Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Clyde each year, making termite removal so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Clyde; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details about the price for termite management and treatment.

In Clyde, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully assess the situation.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us and get the advice of the most experienced termite removal team covering the Clyde area. We can assist you to make a well informed decision about this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

• Not impacted by weather
