Termite Treatment & Extermination

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties throughout Thornleight each year, creating a large need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite treatments.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Thornleight. Nevertheless, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s advised to have a reliable termite exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that eat 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.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children or pets
• An environmentally smart solution
