Termite Prevention & Extermination

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Warrawee North Shore annually. That is why termite prevention and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today for more information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Warrawee, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

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

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
