Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Oakhurst each year, making termite inspection so important.

Termite Removal

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Termite inspection in Oakhurst residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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 as opposed to 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.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
