Termite Prevention & Protection

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Ermington each year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

You will find several types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to kill white ants in Ermington homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of a professional white ant exterminator to check out your house so that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Eco-friendly

The Signs Of Termite Infestation

General signs that your home has a termite infestation:

• Little holes in drywall and timber
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or sub floor
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed swarming from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants can do a great deal of harm to buildings. In fact, just one colony of termites can render a home unusable if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Ermington Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite prevention specialists examine your Ermington home ASAP.
