Termite Pest Control & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to houses across Little Bay each year, creating a large requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the house and the termites. Call us today to learn more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Little Bay, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. 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.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
