Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Heathcote each year, making termite protection so essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Heathcote, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of a specialist white ant exterminator to look at your residence so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In-Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems
