Termite Extermination & Inspection

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Colo annually. That is why termite extermination and inspection is so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Contact us today for additional info on the cost of termite exterminations.

Typically, in Colo, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Green
