Extermination & Prevention Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Frenchs Forest each year. That’s why termite extermination and prevention is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants. Call us today to learn more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to kill white ants in Frenchs Forest homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and once again access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

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