Termite Protection & Inspection

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Monterey annually. That’s why termite protection and inspection is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Monterey; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Termite protection in Monterey residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it is essential to have a specialist termite exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Eco-friendly

The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Here are the common signs you have termites:

• Little holes found in drywall and timber
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling or subfloor
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Property?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a home. If the infestation becomes bad enough, your home may become unsafe.
