Control & Extermination Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Cromer annually. That is why termite control and extermination is very important.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

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

In Cromer, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be dismissed.

To ensure the job is done right, it’s crucial to have a reliable termite exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and again access the house.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the 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 nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
