Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to homes throughout Cattai annually, creating a large need for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are various types of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they will going to apply one of two general termite management processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Cattai, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred method management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

It’s important to first get a specialist termite exterminator come out to the building to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The regularly frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
