Termite Removal & Control

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant level of property damage every year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Longueville North Shore are encouraged to seek quality termite removal services.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are various types of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant removal in Longueville homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a specialist termite exterminator to check out your structures in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of 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 that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations 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 to make sure 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 stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
