Termite Prevention & Removal

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to houses in Claymore every year, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Control & Protection

There are different types of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Claymore. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s vital to bring in a professional termite exterminator to visit your property and assess the damage.

If you think that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic.

We will help you to make a well informed decision about this vital service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger to kids or pets

Common Signs You Are Facing A Termite Infestation

• Minute holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the home
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen swarming from the nest
