Cure For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Cromer Sydney each year. That is why termite treatment and pest control is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they will going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This can 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.

White ant treatment in Cromer homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some definate benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s important to call in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your house and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around 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 house makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

What Damage Can Termites Do?

Termites can do significant damage to structural parts in the structure. When significant, the infestation can make a building unsafe for habitation. Contact Sydney Termite Pest Control today, and arrange for one of our termite treatment experts to come and inspect your Cromer property.
