Pest Control & Protection Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it essential to call your reliable North Shore Kurraba Point termite pest control provider.

Termite Control & Protection

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to get rid of white ants in Kurraba Point homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since 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 transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, however they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
