Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Edgecliff are advised to find quality termite treatment services.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for more information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

White ant treatment in Edgecliff residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

It’s important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the property to assess the situation.

If you believe that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us to get the help of the best termite treatment team covering the Edgecliff area. We can help you to make an educated decision about this important service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Ecologically smart

How To Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

These are the signs you have termites:

• Little holes in the drywall or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed leaving the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single nest of termites is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure may even become unlivable due to the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, may even be irreparable.
