Treatment & Pest Control Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Curl Curl Sydney every year, making termite treatment so vital.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Curl Curl; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more info on the price for termite management and treatment.

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

It’s important to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a structure. If the problem becomes bad enough, the property may become unsafe.
