Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Hurstville are encouraged to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Hurstville; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Hurstville. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when 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 discover these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The 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 are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally sound

How To Tell If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

There are various indications your house suffers from a termite infestation:

• Wood in the dwelling has small holes
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and subfloor
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (or alates) can be noticed swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites can cause a great deal of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes severe enough, the dwelling could become unsafe.
