Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Loftus are encouraged to find quality termite extermination services.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to get rid of termites in Loftus homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s vital to bring in an expert termite exterminator to check out your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
• Eco-friendly

The Telltale Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Little holes found in drywall and/or timber
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and/or in subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

Termites can do significant damage to the structural elements of the building. If severe, the infestation can make your home unfit for use. Contact Loftus Termite Pest Control today, and arrange for one of our termite extermination experts to drop by and inspect your Loftus dwelling.
