Termite Control Mortdale

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Mortdale St George are encouraged to find quality termite control services.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Mortdale; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information about the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to get rid of white ants in Mortdale homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done right, it’s vital to get a reliable termite exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
