Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to homes in Riverwood annually, creating a strong requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Phone us today for more information on the price of termite protections.

As a general rule, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Riverwood. Nevertheless, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

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

So you already realise you have a termite problem and want the most effective protection available in Riverwood? Do you wish to get a dependable termite protection service in Riverwood? We will help you to make an informed decision on the best options for your house as well as providing affordable prices.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly
