Termite Control & Prevention

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it crucial to call your dependable St George termite control provider.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in St George; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to get rid of termites in St George homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It is important to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access issues, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
