Termite Pest Control & Prevention

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 Petersham annually, making termite pest control so important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Petersham; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more information on the price for termite management and treatment.

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

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of an experienced pest exterminator to look at your home in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants 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 way, even in instances where the position 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 that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
