In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive amount of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Cammeray North Shore are encouraged to seek quality termite removal services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each quickly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the building and the termites. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Cammeray, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated due to access difficulties, the termites will identify the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those 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 colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
