Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Leichhardt annually. That is why termite control and removal is essential.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the termites. Call us today for additional information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

White ant control in Leichhardt homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is important to engage the services of a professional pest exterminator to look at your structures so the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family & pets

Signs That You May Have Termites

Here are some telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and timber
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Trees in the area show signs of nests & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming to and from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of causing a lot of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes severe enough, the property could become unlivable.
