Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes in Whale Beach annually, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

You will find various types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Whale Beach, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

To ensure the job is done right, it is vital to get a reliable pest exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
