Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your reliable St George termite treatment provider.

Termite Removal

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them quickly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the termites. Contact us today for more information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Termite treatment in St George homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because 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 much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Signs That You May Have Termites

A number of signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Timber in the structure has tiny holes
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the home
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen leaving the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

It surprises many homeowners to discover that termites could cause a significant amount of damage to buildings. In fact, a single colony of termites can render a home unsafe if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call St George Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite treatment specialists inspect your St George home ASAP.
