Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your dependable Canterbury termite protection provider.

Termite Control & Protection

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Canterbury; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in Canterbury, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home makes it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Eco friendly

Signs That You May Have Termites

There are various indications that your property suffers from a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes in drywall or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites or alates may be seen leaving the nest

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

It surprises many people to learn that white ants could cause a significant amount of harm to buildings. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a home unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
