Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Glenfield every year, making termite inspection so crucial.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Glenfield. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it is vital to get a trusted pest exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location 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.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Environmentally sound

How You Can Identify If Your House Is Infested With Termites

Here are some common signs of a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes in drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and breaking down
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

Can Termites Damage My Building?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites is capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a home. If the problem becomes bad enough, the property may potentially become unlivable.
