Chemical Barriers

It is estimated that as many as 1 in 3 properties in Australia are affected in some way by termites. We use a number of effective chemical agents including Termidor which is the world's most effective termite management chemical. Termidor works by being un-detectable to termites. This ensures they are not able to avoid the treated zone.

Termite Information

Termites pose significant risks to a property. Here's the critical information you need to assess whether you have an infestation and how to resolve it quickly.

What Do Termites Sound Like?

Termites can be surprisingly loud for such small insects. If you have termites, you might hear a clicking or tapping sound. Termites make these noises to communicate with the colony if they've been disturbed or threatened, and to stay protected while feeding.

5 Signs Of A Termite Infestation:

1. Termite Wings

After termite swarmers - the reproducers within a termite colony - leave their colony and find a mate, they shed their wings.


Swarmers tend to be attracted to light, so you'll most likely find them around your doors and windows. As they don't live long indoors, you might find dead bodies or discarded wings in these areas.


These are both signs you have an active infestation.

2. Termite Droppings

Termite droppings, or 'frass', are produced as termites digest wood and send it out of the colony to prevent build-up. Drywood termites, which are located in coastal regions, are the only variety to produce visible frass. It looks like pellets and is wood-coloured, so might be confused with wood shavings or dust. If you notice frass, you have an infestation in your property.
 
Subterranean termites, on the other hand, use droppings to build mud tunnels. Also known as 'white ants', they're common throughout mainland Australia.

3. Termite Damage On Walls

As termites feed on the cardboard or wood panelling beneath your walls, they create tunnels ('termite galleries') and small pin holes ('exit holes'). You might think this damage is always easy to spot, but sometimes galleries and holes can be created without any obvious disturbance to your paint or wallpaper - meaning you're more likely to detect termite damage when conducting a repair or home renovation. If you do notice a change in the way your wallpaper or paint job looks, you might have termites. Inspect the area for any unusual holes, paint bubbles, discolouration, buckling, sunken winding lines, or indentation. 

4. Mud Tubes

Another sign of termites is mud tubes. These appear as narrow veins which run down the sides of your home from the ground towards exposed wood sections. Mud tubes are used by termites to protect themselves from the dry air. They're particularly useful for subterranean termites, who dry out quickly thanks to their thin exoskeletons. Mud tubes offer the humid, safe environment they need to search for food and to thrive. If the mud tube contains live termites, you have an active infestation. If it doesn't, you could still have termites on your property, so it's important to stay on the lookout.

5. Stuck Windows/Doors

If you have a door or window that's stuck or hard to move, you might have a termite infestation. Termites are drawn to exposed wood on windows and doorframes, and as they feed on them they can cause the wood to warp. Damage could also lead to structural issues in your homes, such as deteriorating baseboards or collapsing floors and ceilings. As there are many potential causes of structural problems, look out for damaged wood or dirt tunnels to confirm an infestation.

Termite FAQ

  • How often does a house need a termite inspection?

    Termite inspections are recommended at least once per year as termites can be in your property undetected, causing damage to the structure. We can locate termites long before the average house holder and therefore minimise the damage. 

  • What happens after treating for termites?

    After treating the termites, Border Pest Control will come out and re-inspect the property in approximately 4 weeks to ensure the property is termite-free. Depending on what treatment you require, annual inspections may be required to ensure your warranty is maintained.

  • How Long Does It Take To Kill Termites?

    First we install an above ground bait station where the termites are active, then we apply below ground and chemical solutions afterward. As subterranean termite colonies live underground, it’s difficult to determine when a colony might be killed. It might take up to six months to achieve control, depending on the time of year. Your termite baiting system must also be inspected every 6 months to ensure the treatment is efficient.

  • What time of day are termites most active?

    Termites swarm at night and are generally at their peak in autumn. Speak with one of our Border Pest Control staff today for more information.

  • What is a termite management plan?

    A termite management plan is a strategic and ongoing programme designed to protect a property from termites. The plan involves an initial assessment to identify potential risks and signs of termite activity, followed by the implementation of appropriate treatment options to eliminate any existing termites. Regular monitoring and maintenance are integral components of the plan, helping to prevent future infestations.

  • What are the signs of a termite infestation?

    Recognising the signs of a termite infestation early can save property owners significant repair costs and structural headaches. Common indicators include the presence of mud tubes on exterior walls, which termites use to protect themselves from the environment; soft, hollow-sounding wood that crumbles easily upon inspection; frass or termite droppings, which resemble small, wood-coloured pellets; and swarms of winged termites, especially near light sources. These signs suggest an urgent need for a professional assessment to address and control the termite issue.

  • What types of termite treatments are available?

    Various termite treatments cater to different types of infestations and property layouts. Our treatments range from liquid termiticides, which create a chemical barrier around the property, to baiting systems that use a less invasive method to eliminate termite colonies. Each method is selected based on the property's specific needs and the infestation's severity, ensuring the most effective and sustainable termite management strategy is employed.

  • Are termite treatments safe for pets and children?

    Safety is a primary concern when it comes to termite treatments, particularly when it comes to treatments that might affect pets and children. Our termite management solutions are selected and applied with strict adherence to safety guidelines to minimise any risk to your family and pets. All products used are registered and approved by relevant authorities and our technicians are trained to handle and apply treatments to maximise safety and efficacy.

  • What is the difference between baiting and liquid treatments?

    Baiting and liquid treatments are two effective termite management methods, each with distinct advantages. Baiting systems use bait stations filled with a slow-acting termiticide to attract termites, transporting the poison back to their colony and gradually eliminating it. This method is less intrusive and allows for ongoing monitoring of termite activity. On the other hand, liquid treatments involve applying a termiticide barrier around or beneath the property to prevent termite entry immediately. While baiting focuses on long-term colony eradication, liquid treatments provide rapid protection by establishing a chemical barrier that termites cannot penetrate.
