Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses throughout St Leonards each year, creating a large requirement for termite removal.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional information on the price of termite removals.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Eco friendly
