Termite Protection & Extermination

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Carlingford annually, making termite protection so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Phone us today for more information on the price of termite protections.

In Carlingford, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is important to bring in an expert termite exterminator to check out your home and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents 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 can often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position 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 positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Ecologically sound

How You Can Identify If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

A number of signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Little holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling and sub floor areas
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the structure
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

Can A Colony Of Termites Really Damage My House?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that termites could do a great deal of harm to buildings. In fact, just one nest of termites can render a building unusable if the problem is severe enough.
