Termite Control & Prevention

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to properties throughout Oatlands every year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments vary with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Phone us today for additional information on the price of termite controls.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Oatlands. However, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of an expert white ant exterminator to look at your house so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and again access the building.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
• Environmentally friendly

How To Identify If Your House Is Infested With Termites

Several signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Holes in the drywall or wood
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or subfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites or alates can be noticed leaving the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Dwelling?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that white ants may cause a great deal of harm to structures. In fact, even a single nest of termites can render a dwelling unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
