Treatment and Preventative Solutions
Termites are attracted to dark damp environments, so fix leaking water pipes, drains, showers, sinks, etc. Captured water from air conditioning units and down pipes should be directed into storm water drainage or away from the main structure of the building. If the building is of the subfloor variety then good ventilation and air flow under the structure is highly desirable.
Termites are especially attracted to timber that is damp and infested with wood-decaying fungi. Proper site preparation, the use of timber alternatives, termite resistant wood, timber preservatives, and prevention of dampness will deter termites.
Use resistant or treated timber where possible, especially in exposed positions or in contact with the ground.
Resistant timbers are wandoo, blackbutt, jam, jarrah, western red cedar and kapur. Also resistant are the Australian native cypress pines and Australian cedar.
Susceptible timbers include pine, karri, marri, mountain ash, meranti and particle board. All sapwood, even of resistant species, is susceptible.
No timber is totally resistant to attack.
Regular inspections are the most important part of controlling termites before they do damage.
Many methods of treatment can be used, but at Midland Pest Control we recommend a chemical barrier be installed as our preferred method of prevention. Chemical Barriers can be installed in new and existing structures. These barriers are formed when the chemical is applied to the soil under or around the foundations of the structure.
