Prevention & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings across Cheltenham each year, creating a large need for termite prevention.

The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Cheltenham homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• An environmentally smart solution
