Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to homes throughout Waterloo Sydney annually, creating a large requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

Termite treatment in Waterloo homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some definate benefits that should not be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it’s crucial to get a specialist white ant exterminator in to review the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
