Protection & Inspection Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Kentlyn annually. That’s why termite protection and inspection is essential.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

You can find several types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Kentlyn, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s vital to call in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all your family & pets

How You Can Determine If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

• Holes in timber panels or drywall
• Wood is damaged or crumbling
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The building may even become unlivable because of the severity of the problem, and in extreme cases, may even be unrepairable.
