Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to homes across Castlecrag on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite protection.

Termite Removal & Prevention

You can find different types of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Castlecrag. Nevertheless, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of an experienced termite exterminator to check out your property in order that the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and once again access the building.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for children & pets
