Termite Treatment & Protection

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 homes in Avalon Beach each year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the house and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Termite prevention in Avalon Beach residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is important to have the white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these breaks and again access the building.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unimpacted by weather

How To Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

• Little holes in drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that white ants can do a significant amount of harm to buildings. In fact, even a single nest of termites can render a house unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
