Termite or white ant infestations are rather common within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Watsons Bay each year. That is why termite prevention and treatment is so important.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments vary regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the cost of termite preventions.

Generally, in Watsons Bay, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred method removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution
