Termite Treatment Long Point

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to homes in Long Point annually, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Long Point; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite management and treatment.

In Long Point, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the termites will detect those gaps and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding effect.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Signs You Are Facing Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your structure has a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Wood is damaged or disintegrating
