Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes across Como on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

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 additional details on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to eliminate white ants in Como homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Environmentally friendly

The Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Here are some common signs of a termite infestation:

• Wood in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Wood is decaying or damaged
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or sub-floor areas
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen leaving the nest

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The building can even become unusable as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may be irreparable.
