Termite Removal & Pest Control

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Richmond are encouraged to find quality termite removal services.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Contact us today for additional info on the price of termite removals.

Termite removal in Richmond homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it is crucial to have a reliable termite exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated due to access issues, the termites will detect the breaks and attain access through those areas.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system

• Safe for use around children and pets
