Termite Extermination Carss Park

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it vital to call your dependable St George Carss Park termite extermination provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each quickly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today for additional information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Carss Park, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the building to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
