Treatment & Extermination Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Maroubra are advised to seek quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the cost of termite treatments.

In Maroubra, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position 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 termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
