Termite Pest Control & Prevention

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Dundas each year, making termite pest control so crucial.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Dundas; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details on the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Dundas homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is important to engage the expertise of an experienced termite exterminator to check over your structures so that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants may detect the breaks and attain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home can make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally friendly

Signs You Are Dealing With A Termite Infestation

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
