Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to properties across Fairlight on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Fairlight; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest 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 termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Green

The Indications Of Termite Infestation

There are several indications your property suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Tiny holes in drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• Mud Tubes on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites or alates can be noticed swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants could do a lot of damage to structures. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a house unsafe if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Fairlight Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite protection specialists inspect your Fairlight residence ASAP.
