Termite Prevention & Inspection

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant amount of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Airds are encouraged to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Airds; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in Airds, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

It’s important to first get a specialist termite exterminator come out to the house to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
