Cure For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive amount of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Maroubra are advised to find reliable termite protection services.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Contact us today for additional information on the price of termite protections.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to eliminate white ants in Maroubra homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s vital to get a trusted pest exterminator in to look at the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest 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 observed activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

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