Cure For Termite Infestation

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of St Ives are encouraged to find reliable termite inspection services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Contact us today for more information on the cost of termite inspections.

In St Ives, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is vital to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

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

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
