Treatment & Removal Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Brighton-Le-Sands Sydney are encouraged to find quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to eliminate white ants in Brighton-Le-Sands homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have your termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

If you think that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call and receive the help of the most experienced termite treatment team covering the Brighton-Le-Sands area. We can assist you to make an informed decision about this vital service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, 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 home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
