Pest Control & Extermination Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings throughout Freshwater on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the residence and the termites. Call us today to learn more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to kill termites in Freshwater homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It’s important to bring in a professional termite exterminator to check out your home and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location 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 places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for all the family including pets

Common Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

• Small holes bored in timber panels
• Damaged or collapsing wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony
