Termite Control Prairiewood

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Prairiewood each year, making termite control so crucial.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find several types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Prairiewood, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is wise to first get a specialist termite exterminator come out to the home to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, however they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits
