Termite Prevention & Extermination

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in South Windsor annually, making termite prevention so crucial.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Call us today for more information on the cost of termite preventions.

Termite prevention in South Windsor homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

Common Signs You're Facing A Termite Infestation

There are several indications your property suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Little holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming to and from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even a single nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The dwelling can even become unlivable as a result of the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
