Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Merrylands annually, making termite protection so crucial.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the home and the colony. Contact us today to learn more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Merrylands, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is important to engage the expertise of a professional termite exterminator to check out your structures in order that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even though 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.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to children or pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Signs That You May Have Termites

There are various signs that your property has a white ant infestation:

• Minute holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub floor
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that white ants can cause a great deal of damage to buildings. In fact, even a single colony of termites can render a house unlivable if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Merrylands Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite protection specialists examine your Merrylands property asap.
