Termite Protection & Extermination

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to properties in Kurraba Point each year, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places cannot be treated because of access problems, the white ants may identify those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Eco-friendly
