Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Rhodes each year. That’s why termite removal and prevention is so important.

Termite Removal

You can find several types of termite situations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Rhodes, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

It is important to have your white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and once again access the house.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Signs You're Dealing With A Termite Infestation

There are many indications your dwelling suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Timber in the home has small holes
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the colony

Can Termites Damage My Residence?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites can do quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the problem becomes severe enough, the house could potentially become unsafe.
