Termite Treatment & Control

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings in Turramurra annually, creating a large requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Turramurra; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more info about the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to kill termites in Turramurra homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It is crucial to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Signs You Are Dealing With Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your building has a termite infestation:

• Holes in timber panels or drywall
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) are capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the property may become unsafe.
