Control & Protection Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Dundas North West each year. That is why termite control and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the building and the colony. Call us today for more information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Generally, in Dundas, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the house to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the house.

The often commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even a single nest of white ants can do a surprising amount of destruction. The structure may even become unsafe due to the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
