Inspection & Extermination Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it vital to call your trusted North Shore Castle Cove termite inspection provider.

Termite Control & Protection

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

In Castle Cove, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to bring in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your home and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
