Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes across Waverton North Shore on a yearly basis, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them quickly. There’s two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the residence and the white ants. Contact us today to learn more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Termite pest control in Waverton residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
