Termite Protection & Pest Control

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to properties throughout Lidcombe on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments change regarding their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today to learn more about the cost of termite protections.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional strategy to eliminate white ants in Lidcombe homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is of great importance to engage the services of a professional termite exterminator to look at your structures in order that the damage can be fully looked at.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain ingress through them.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

The Indications Of Termite Infestation

Here are the telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and wood
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the structure
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) can do a lot of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes severe enough, your property could potentially become unusable.
