Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in North Balgowlah every year, making termite pest control so important.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the cost of termite pest controls.

In North Balgowlah, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
