Treatment & Extermination Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Oatlands each year. That’s why termite treatment and extermination is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

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

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the property to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
