Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Banksia annually, making termite protection so vital.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

Termite treatments vary with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Contact us today for more information on the cost of termite protections.

Termite protection in Banksia residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even when 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
