Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of South Hurstville are advised to seek reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal

There are several types of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to get rid of white ants in South Hurstville homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

It is vital to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your house and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you don’t 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 are used in a similar manner, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids or pets
• Ecologically friendly

Signs You're Facing A Termite Infestation

Here are the telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Holes in timber panels
• Wood is damaged or decaying
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure can even become unlivable due to the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
