Prevention & Extermination Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive amount of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Blair Athol are advised to find quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the colony. Contact us today to find out more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Blair Athol. However, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s wise to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the house to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not affected by weather
