Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your dependable Heathcote termite extermination provider.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Heathcote; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Smart

How You Can Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

There are several indications your property has a termite infestation:

• Holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and in subfloor areas
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the home
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one nest of termites can do an unexpected amount of damage. The dwelling may even become unlivable due to the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can be irreparable.
