Remedy For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant amount of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Dundas are advised to find quality termite protection services.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

Termite protection in Dundas homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the home to fully evaluate the situation.

Are you in need of termite protection for your property and want to identify the removal available in Dundas that will be most suited?

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Green

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

General signs that your house has a termite infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall or wood
• Wood is damaged and decaying
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one colony of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The home may even become unlivable due to the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may even be irreparable.
