Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it important to call your dependable Minto termite extermination provider.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are various kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

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

To make sure the job is carried out right, it’s crucial to have a reliable pest exterminator in to assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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 termites 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 can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• Environmentally Smart
