Treatment & Removal Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it important to call your dependable Forest Lodge termite treatment provider.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

In Forest Lodge, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

We will help you to make an informed decision on the best options for your house along with providing very competitive pricing.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Environmentally Friendly
