Termite Protection & Prevention

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants will identify the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony 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 places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to children & pets
• Ecologically Smart

The Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Wood in the structure has tiny holes
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Mud Tubes on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brick work or in underfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The home may even become unusable as a result of the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can even be irreparable.
