Termite Extermination & Inspection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Picnic Point annually, making termite extermination so essential.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to kill white ants in Picnic Point homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages that should not be forgotten.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of an experienced termite exterminator to check out your residence so that the damage can be fully assessed.

If you believe that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us to get the advice of the most experienced termite extermination team covering the Picnic Point area. We can help you to make an educated decision on this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around children and pets
