Prevention & Extermination Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Turramurra every year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the house and the white ants. Contact us today for more information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Turramurra, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to engage the expertise of a specialist white ant exterminator to check out your home so that the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures 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 then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
• Ecologically sound

Common Signs That You Have Termites
