Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to houses throughout Hills District each year, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Termite Removal

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

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to eliminate white ants in Hills District homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It’s important to call in a professional termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure can make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather conditions

• Small holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Wood that is damaged or disintegrating
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants are capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes bad enough, your home may become unsafe.
