Removal & Pest Control Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Lavender Bay North Shore each year, making termite removal so essential.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

White ant removal in Lavender Bay residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of a specialist pest exterminator to check out your house in order that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites can detect those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on result.

In this manner, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
