Extermination & Removal Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Monterey are encouraged to find reliable termite extermination services.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly. There’s two main strategies carried out for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for more information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to kill white ants in Monterey homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It is of great importance to engage the services of an experienced pest exterminator to look at your house so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The regularly frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Eco-friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

A number of signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Holes in timber panels or drywall
• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants may do a significant amount of damage to structures. In fact, even a single colony of termites can render a structure unusable if the problem is severe enough.
