Removal & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold amounts of damage to houses throughout Riverwood every year, creating a large need for termite removal.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

You will find several kinds of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite removal in Riverwood homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and again access the house.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

The Indications Of Termite Infestation

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

• Holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brick work and/or in subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen leaving the colony

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one colony of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The building may even become unusable as a result of the significance of the issue, and in the extreme, can even be unrepairable.
