across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in South Turramurra each year, making termite control so essential.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

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

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems can 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 stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Ecologically sound

How To Tell If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

Typical signs that your dwelling has a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in subfloor areas
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even a single nest of white ants are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The structure can even become unlivable because of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
