Termite Prevention & Inspection

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Vineyard are advised to find quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Vineyard; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

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

To make sure the job is done right, it is essential to have a specialist termite exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a home, 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 were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Signs You're Dealing With A Termite Infestation

• Mud tubes appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
