Termite Prevention & Control

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Castlecrag are advised to seek reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the home and the colony. Contact us today to learn more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Termite prevention in Castlecrag homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your house and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for children and pets
• Environmentally Smart
