Control & Removal Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Dolls Point St George annually. That’s why termite control and extermination is so important.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various kinds of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may 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 remedies are a more standard strategy to kill termites in Dolls Point homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
