Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to properties in Mortlake each year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments alter regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today for more information on the cost of termite controls.

White ant control in Mortlake residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
