Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Penrith annually. That’s why termite extermination and pest control is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Management

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

Typically, in Penrith, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and access the property.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location 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 so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Environmentally friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

Here are the common signs of a termite infestation:

• Little holes in drywall and timber
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming to and from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants can do a lot of harm to buildings. In fact, just one nest of termites can render a structure unusable if the problem is severe enough.
