Termite Prevention & Extermination

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Duffys Forest are encouraged to seek reliable termite prevention services.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Contact us today for additional information on the price of termite preventions.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Duffys Forest. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s vital to get in a professional termite exterminator to visit your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

The often commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home will make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your building is infested with termites:

• Tiny holes in the drywall and timber
• Damaged & disintegrating wood
• Evidence of mud tubes on brickwork, timber, ceiling and sub-floor
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the dwelling
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen leaving the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

If left untreated, even just one colony of termites is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The structure may even become unlivable due to the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can even be irreparable.
