Removal & Prevention Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage every year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Five Dock are advised to seek reliable termite removal services.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

You can find different types of termite situations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Five Dock, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It is essential to have the white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

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

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution
