Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Mcgraths Hill each year. That is why termite prevention and inspection is so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find different types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Mcgraths Hill homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s important to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the property to fully look at the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger for children & pets
• Green

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

There are many indications your dwelling has a white ant infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall or timber
• Damaged or decaying wood
• Evidence of mud tubes on the brickwork, timber, ceiling or sub-floor areas
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites or alates may be seen swarming from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

Termites may cause significant damage to major structural parts of the residence. When significant enough, the infestation can make the structure unsafe for use.
