Removal & Treatment Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Matraville annually. That is why termite removal and treatment is very important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

In Matraville, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the property to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling can make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

How Problematic Can Termites Be?
