Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Kensington each year. That’s why termite treatment and removal is so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is different, 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 eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Kensington homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s vital to get a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the situation.

If you believe that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us to receive the help of the best termite treatment team covering the Kensington area. We will help you to make a knowledgeable decision on this crucial service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to children or pets
• Environmentally sound

Common Signs You Are Facing A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Little holes found in drywall and timber
• Damaged & decaying timber
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the home
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
