Termite Treatment & Prevention

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to buildings throughout Lidcombe each year, creating a strong requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Lidcombe; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info on the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are the more standard strategy to kill white ants in Lidcombe homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it’s crucial to have a trusted white ant exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, 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 eating up to now. 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 further colony members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets

Signs That You Have Termites

• Tiny holes in the drywall and timber
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• Mud Tubes on the wood, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and in underfloor areas
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) are capable of doing a lot of damage to a building. If the problem becomes bad enough, the dwelling may potentially become unusable.
