Treatment & Removal Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Springwood each year. That’s why termite treatment and removal is essential.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

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

Generally, in Springwood, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco-friendly

How You Can Tell If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

Several signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Timber in the home has small holes
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and sub floor areas
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Dwelling?

Termites may do significant damage to the major structural elements of your building. When significant enough, the infestation can make the house unfit for use.
