Removal & Control Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it important to call your trusted Forest Lodge termite removal provider.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Forest Lodge; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Forest Lodge homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

It’s important to bring in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling can make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Green

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

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

• Holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or decaying wood
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floorboards, ceilings, brick work or in underfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen leaving the nest
