Prevention & Pest Control Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Freshwater each year. That’s why termite prevention and pest control is essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised 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 treatments cost, give us a call today.

Typically, in Freshwater, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred method removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Eco friendly

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

There are various indications your dwelling has a termite infestation:

• Little holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Timber is crumbling or damaged
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the home
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants can do a surprising amount of destruction. The house may even become unlivable because of the significance of the problem, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
