Termite Protection & Treatment

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 properties in Oatlands annually, making termite removal so essential.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Oatlands; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details about the price for termite treatment and management.

As a general rule, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Oatlands. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether 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 white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

Several signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Small holes bored in timber panels
• Wood is decaying or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The dwelling can even become unlivable because of the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can even be unrepairable.
