Termite Protection & Pest Control

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Richmond Lowlands each year, making termite protection so important.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the cost of termite protections.

Generally, in Richmond Lowlands, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and again access the home.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you don’t 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.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
