Cure For Termite Infestation

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in South Coogee annually. That is why termite prevention and pest control is extremely important.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Typically, in South Coogee, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it is advised to have a trusted white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants will detect the breaks and attain ingress through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around children and pets
