Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings throughout Box Hill on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite control.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the residence and the colony. Call us today for more information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Box Hill. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

The Indications Of Termite Infestation

These are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Holes bored in timber panels
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees close to the building
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

It surprises many homeowners to discover that white ants can do a lot of damage to buildings. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a building unsafe if the problem is severe enough.
