Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings in Heathcote on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite control.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

White ant control in Heathcote homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may have some definate benefits that can not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of an expert termite exterminator to look at your house so that the damage can be fully looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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 rather than 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 fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
