Removal & Extermination Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. Once they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it important to call your reliable Schofields termite removal provider.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are various kinds of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Schofields, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets

• Damaged or crumbling wood
• Mud tubes appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees near the structure
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony
