Termite Control & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings in St Ives Chase on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite control.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

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

It’s important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the home to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and access the property.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if you do not 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 usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
