Termite Control & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes across Westleigh annually, creating a strong requirement for termite control.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments vary in terms of 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 with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite controls.

For the most part, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Westleigh. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

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

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable 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.
