Termite Control & Pest Control

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Dolls Point St George each year. That is why termite control and removal is so important.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

You will find different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to kill termites in Dolls Point homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of an expert pest exterminator to look at your property so that the damage can be fully looked at.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
