Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Westmead every year, making termite inspection so essential.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

You can find different kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite management processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Westmead, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

It’s important to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the home to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and access the home.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How You Can Determine If Your House Is Infested With Termites

Here are the common signs you have termites:

• Tiny holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• Mud tubes appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the nest

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites are capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a house. If the infestation becomes bad enough, the dwelling could potentially become unusable.
