Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Waterloo are advised to seek reliable termite removal services.

Termite Removal

You can find various types of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

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

It’s important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your house and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight 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 wood that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may 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 catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco-friendly

How To Identify If Your House Is Infested With Termites

Several signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Tiny holes in drywall and timber
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

If left untreated, even a single colony of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The home can even become unlivable as a result of the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, may even be unrepairable.
