Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes throughout Loftus on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite control.

Removing & Managing Termites

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

White ant control in Loftus residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

It is important to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites will identify those breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How To Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

There are many indications your house has a white ant infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall or wood
• Damaged or decaying timber
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the colony
