Inspection & Pest Control Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are rather common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Austral each year. That is why termite inspection and pest control is extremely important.

Termite Removal

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are 2 strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

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

To ensure the job is carried out right, it’s crucial to have a reliable white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Environmentally friendly

The Telltale Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

There are several indications that your house has a white ant infestation:

• Little holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• Mud tubes appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even a single nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The house may even become unlivable due to the significance of the issue, and in extreme cases, may be unrepairable.
