Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Riverwood St George are advised to seek reliable termite control services.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the residence and the colony. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Termite control in Riverwood homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it is crucial to get a trusted termite exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some places cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants may detect the breaks and gain access via them.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

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