Protection & Extermination Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings in Sandy Point on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant protection in Sandy Point residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

To make sure the job is done right, it is advised to have a trusted pest exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and access the house.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they were 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 feed the bait to further 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 regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally friendly
