Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to properties in Terrey Hills every year, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Terrey Hills; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

In Terrey Hills, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
• Environmentally friendly

The Telltale Signs Of Termite Infestation

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

• Tiny holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees near the structure
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the nest

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

Termites may cause significant damage to the major structural components of the dwelling. When severe enough, the infestation can make a residence unfit for use.
