Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Waterloo termite control provider.

Termite Removal

You can find different kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Waterloo, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It’s wise to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
