Termite Control & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Taren Point each year, making termite control so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Taren Point; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more info on the price for termite treatment and management.

In Taren Point, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the house to assess the damage.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us and get the advice of the best termite control team covering the Taren Point area. We will help you to make a knowledgeable decision about this crucial service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Systems can 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco-friendly

The Indications Of Termite Infestation

Here are the telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Little holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite colony
