Control & Removal Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Mascot annually, making termite control so crucial.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Mascot; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more details about the cost for termite management and treatment.

In Mascot, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of a professional termite exterminator to check over your residence so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar manner, however they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs That You Have Termites

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Timber in the structure has tiny holes
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the building
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a lot of damage to a home. If the problem becomes bad enough, the structure may potentially become unlivable.
