Termite Prevention & Inspection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to homes across Seaforth annually, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the house and the colony. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

In Seaforth, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

It is important to call in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your premises and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest may be eliminated 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 termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to children & pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your dwelling is infested with termites:

• Holes in timber panels
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen leaving the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The house can even become unusable because of the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, can even be irreparable.
