Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties throughout Padstow each year, creating a strong requirement for termite prevention.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

White ant prevention in Padstow homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some definate benefits that should not be ignored.

It is important to engage the expertise of a professional termite exterminator to check out your house so the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Environmentally friendly

How Problematic Are Termites?
