Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses throughout Blakehurst each year, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Managing & Removing Termites

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

Termite protection in Blakehurst residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is necessary to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids & pets
• Environmentally smart

How You Can Identify If Your House Is Infested With Termites

There are many signs that your dwelling has a termite infestation:

• Timber in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Damaged & decaying wood
• Mud tubes appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the nest

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants can cause quite a lot of damage to a home. If the problem becomes bad enough, your home may potentially become unsafe.
