Termite Protection & Treatment

across the country it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Mascot every year, making termite control so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are various kinds of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated due to access difficulties, the termites can detect the gaps and gain access through them.

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills those 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 manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally friendly

Signs You're Facing A Termite Infestation

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

• Tiny holes in drywall and/or timber
• Wood is damaged or crumbling
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling or sub floor
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming to and from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

When left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The house may even become unsafe due to the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may even be irreparable.
