Termite Protection & Control

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses across St Ives Chase annually, creating a large need for termite protection.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional strategy to kill termites in St Ives Chase homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an expert termite exterminator to look at your home so the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

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

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
• Ecologically smart

How You Can Identify If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Holes in the drywall and wood
• Wood is damaged and decaying
• Evidence of mud tubes on brickwork, wood, ceiling or subfloor areas
• Termite nests & mounds in trees near the building
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Dwelling?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants may cause a significant amount of harm to buildings. In fact, even just one nest of termites can render a building unusable if the problem is severe enough.
