Treatment & Protection Against Termites

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 houses in Heathcote annually, making termite treatment so vital.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

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

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Heathcote. However, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants can detect the gaps and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions 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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to children & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
