Solution For Termite Infestation

across the country it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Eastlakes Sydney each year, making termite control so vital.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today to find out more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to kill termites in Eastlakes homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) is capable of causing quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the problem becomes severe enough, the home could become unsafe.
