Extermination & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to houses in Girraween annually, creating a large requirement for termite extermination.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Girraween; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info about the price for termite treatment and management.

Typically, in Girraween, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.

It is important to get in an expert termite exterminator to check out your premises and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs You're Dealing With A Termite Infestation

These are the signs you have a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in the drywall and timber
• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in underfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure can even become unlivable as a result of the significance of the problem, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
