Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties in Sefton every year, creating a strong requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Sefton; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

In Sefton, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Environmentally sound

Common Signs You're Dealing With A Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and wood
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the home
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the nest

Can Termites Badly Damage My Dwelling?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) are capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a building. If the problem becomes serious enough, the property could become unlivable.
