Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Box Hill are encouraged to seek reliable termite treatment services.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Box Hill; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info on the price for termite treatment and management.

Termite treatment in Box Hill residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

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

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated because of access difficulties, the termites can detect the gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Environmentally Friendly

The Signs Of Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Small holes in the drywall or timber
• Damaged & disintegrating timber
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Property?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The home can even become unusable because of the significance of the problem, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
