Termite Prevention & Extermination

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to properties across Huntingwood annually, creating a strong need for termite prevention.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

You can find several types of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Huntingwood, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

To make sure the job is done correctly, it’s vital to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to look at the damage.

If you feel that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us to receive the assistance of the best termite prevention team covering the Huntingwood area.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems may 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets

Common Indications You Have A Termite Infestation

Here are some common signs of a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the house

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants can cause quite a lot of damage to a house. If the infestation becomes bad enough, your property could become unusable.
