Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to houses throughout Merrylands on a yearly basis, creating a strong requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal

You can find different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Merrylands, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred method management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator visit the property to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and again access the house.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when 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 placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally sound

The Indications Of A Termite Infestation

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

• Small holes in the drywall and timber
• Wood that is damaged or decaying
• Mud tubes appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The dwelling can even become unusable as a result of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
