Solution For Termite Infestation

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Thornleigh are encouraged to find quality termite control services.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Thornleigh; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

White ant control in Thornleigh residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the property to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can 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 regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly

Signs You're Dealing With A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Holes in timber panels
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My House?

In fact, even a single colony of termites can render a home unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
