Termite Treatment & Prevention

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Melrose Park each year. That’s why termite treatment and prevention is very important.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for more information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

Termite treatment in Melrose Park residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

If you believe that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to get the assistance of the best termite treatment team covering the Melrose Park area. We can assist you to make an educated decision about this crucial service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets

• Timber in the building has small holes
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, timber, ceiling and subfloor
• Colonys or mounds in trees

Can Termites Really Damage My Dwelling?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) can do quite a lot of damage to a house. If the infestation becomes bad enough, the structure could potentially become unusable.
