Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Mount Kuring-Gai each year, making termite inspection so vital.

Generally, in Mount Kuring-Gai, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
