Termite Treatment & Pest Control

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties across Cabarita Sydney annually, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Cabarita; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Generally, in Cabarita, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the home to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated as a result of access problems, the termites will detect the gaps and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure can even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
