Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes throughout Balgowlah Heights each year, creating a strong need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal/Prevention 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 extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and access the house.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon 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 colony members.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger to children or pets
• Environmentally Smart

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

General signs that your property has a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall and/or timber
• Damaged & crumbling wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming to and from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

It surprises many people to learn that white ants are able to cause a lot of harm to buildings. In fact, a single nest of termites can render a building unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
