Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings in Cheltenham annually, creating a large need for termite inspection.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Cheltenham; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the price for termite management and treatment.

Generally, in Cheltenham, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is of great importance to engage the services of an expert white ant exterminator to look at your residence so that the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and access the house.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets

• Small holes in the drywall and timber
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in subfloor areas
• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of alates flying from the colony

Can A Colony Of Termites Damage My House?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants can cause quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes serious enough, your home could potentially become unlivable.
