Control & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings in Banksia each year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments vary regarding their goals 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 building to be protected. Contact us today for additional information on the price of termite controls.

Typically, in Banksia, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It’s vital to call in a professional termite exterminator to visit your home and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential 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 locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Advantages
