Remedy For Termite Infestation

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Smeaton Grange each year. That’s why termite protection and pest control is extremely important.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

White ant protection in Smeaton Grange residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home makes it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
