Cure 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 Eastlakes each year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Eastlakes; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical remedies are a more typical treatment to kill termites in Eastlakes homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

To ensure the job is carried out correctly, it is essential to have a reliable white ant exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some places can not be treated because of access difficulties, then termites may detect those gaps and attain access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
