Protection & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a residence, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Freshwater termite protection provider.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

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

It is important to have your white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

How You Can Identify If Your House Is Infested With Termites

Several signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Minute holes in drywall or timber
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees near the structure
• Winged termites or alates can be noticed leaving the nest

Can Termites Damage My Dwelling?

When left untreated, even a single nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The building may even become unusable as a result of the significance of the issue, and in extreme cases, can even be unrepairable.
