Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Westleigh each year. That is why termite removal and pest control is so important.

Termite Removal

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

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

To ensure the job is carried out correctly, it is crucial to have a specialist termite exterminator in to review the damage.

If you believe that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic.

We will help you to make a knowledgeable decision on this vital service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure will make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
