Termite Control & Prevention

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Loftus annually, making termite control so important.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Contact us today to learn more about the cost of termite controls.

White ant control in Loftus homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may have some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations cannot be treated because of access issues, then termites may identify the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Smart
