Termite Prevention & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes throughout Kearns annually, creating a strong requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Kearns; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more details on the cost for termite management and treatment.

White ant prevention in Kearns homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator visit the property to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
