Remedy For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Darlington are advised to find reliable termite treatment services.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are different types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is vital to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Indications You Have A Termite Infestation

General signs that your structure has a termite infestation:

• Small holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the termite nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

When left untreated, even a single nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The building may even become unusable as a result of the significance of the problem, and in the extreme, can even be irreparable.
