Treatment For Termite Infestation

across the country it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Greendale each year, making termite prevention so crucial.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Greendale; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants can identify those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

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

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Wood in the home has holes
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single nest of termites is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The building can even become unusable because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
