Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to houses throughout Lapstone on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

Termite treatments change with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Give us a call today for more information on the cost of termite controls.

In Lapstone, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is vital to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your home and assess the damage.

We will assist you to make an educated decision on this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

Here are the signs you have a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and wood
• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees near the building
• Winged termites or alates may be seen swarming from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites can do a surprising amount of destruction. The structure may even become unusable due to the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
