Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your trusted St Ives termite inspection provider.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the termites. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

In St Ives, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is vital to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants may identify those gaps and gain ingress through them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Eco-friendly
