Termite Treatment & Control

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in East Willoughby annually, making termite treatment so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the residence and the white ants. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Termite treatment in East Willoughby residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can have some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s important to bring in a professional termite exterminator to check out your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home makes it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Environmentally friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

A number of signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Small holes found in drywall and timber
• Wood is damaged or decaying
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floor boards, ceilings, brick work and/or in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

It surprises many people to learn that termites can do a great deal of damage to buildings. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a home unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
