Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Arncliffe every year, making termite control so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Arncliffe; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more information on the price for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in Arncliffe, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the home to evaluate the damage.

If you believe that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us and get the advice of the most experienced termite control team covering the Arncliffe area. We can help you to make an informed decision about this crucial service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
