Termite Prevention Dee Why

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Dee Why each year. That is why termite prevention and treatment is so important.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

Each situation is different, 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. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Chemical treatments are a more typical treatment to eliminate termites in Dee Why homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is important to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

The Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your building has a termite infestation:

• Little holes found in drywall or timber
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
