Termite Prevention & Pest Control

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

Termite Control & Protection

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each briefly.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, but they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Environmentally Smart

How You Can Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

• Little holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
