Termite Control & Extermination

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Belrose North Shore annually, making termite control so essential.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Belrose homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning 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.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
