Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant amount of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Galston are advised to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Control & Protection

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Galston; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

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

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

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
