Removal & Treatment Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in East Killara each year. That’s why termite removal and treatment is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite removals.

In East Killara, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it is crucial to have a specialist pest exterminator in to review the damage.

If you think that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic.

We will help you to make a knowledgeable decision about this vital service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and once again access the house.

The regularly widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger to children & pets
