Protection & Inspection Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Colyton termite protection provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Generally, in Colyton, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

It is wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the property to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the property.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around kids and pets
