Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings throughout Eastlakes annually, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Control & Protection

There are different types of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant prevention in Eastlakes homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator visit the house to assess the situation.

If you believe that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us to get the advice of the best termite prevention team covering the Eastlakes area. We can help you to make an informed decision on this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling will make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
