Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Strathfield are encouraged to seek quality termite treatment services.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the home and the termites. Contact us today to learn more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Strathfield, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is important to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

If you believe that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to receive the help of the most experienced termite treatment team covering the Strathfield area. We can assist you to make an educated decision on this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids & pets
• Eco-friendly

The Signs Of A Termite Infestation

These are the common signs you have termites:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged & disintegrating timber
• Evidence of mud tubes on brickwork, timber, ceiling and sub floor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the termite nest

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The dwelling can even become unlivable as a result of the significance of the issue, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
