Termite Control Clovelly

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to houses across Clovelly every year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Call us today for additional info on the cost of termite controls.

Generally, in Clovelly, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, 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 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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
