Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Hillsdale each year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Give us a call today to learn more about the cost of termite preventions.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to kill termites in Hillsdale homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It is necessary to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us and get the help of the most experienced termite prevention team covering the Hillsdale area. We can help you to make an informed decision about this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Ecologically Friendly
