Termite Prevention & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Yellow Rock annually, making termite prevention so essential.

Termite Control & Protection

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Yellow Rock; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more info about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Generally, in Yellow Rock, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It is vital to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants may identify the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they’re frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Environmentally Friendly
