Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Carlingford annually, making termite prevention so vital.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Phone us today for more information on the price of termite preventions.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional treatment to eliminate white ants in Carlingford homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages that should not be forgotten.

It is vital to call in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather
