Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Wheeler Heights each year. That’s why termite control and removal is extremely important.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Wheeler Heights; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants will identify the gaps and gain access via those areas.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you do not 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 Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all the family including pets
