Termite Extermination & Removal

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Marsfield annually, making termite extermination so essential.

Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the colony. Contact us today for additional information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Marsfield, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the property to look at the situation.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems 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 perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather conditions
