Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings across Schofields annually, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Schofields; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information about the price for termite management and treatment.

Termite treatment in Schofields homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is of great importance to engage the services of a specialist white ant exterminator to check over your home in order that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children & pets
• Environmentally smart

Signs You're Dealing With Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Timber in the home has holes
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Building?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites can do a surprising amount of damage. The home can even become unusable because of the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
