Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Northwood annually. That is why termite prevention and protection is very important.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Northwood; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for additional information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Termite prevention in Northwood residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

It’s important to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding effect.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

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 termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
