Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Berowra annually. That is why termite protection and prevention is very important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them quickly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the house and the termites. Call us today for more information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Generally, in Berowra, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

It is vital to have your termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants may detect those gaps and attain access through those areas.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
