Termite Extermination

Termite Extermination & Removal

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Kingsgrove St George each year. That’s why termite extermination and removal is so important.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Contact us today for additional info on the cost of termite exterminations.

Chemical remedies are the more typical treatment to kill termites in Kingsgrove homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

It’s wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the property to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect these breaks and once again access the property.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 may 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even a single colony of termites is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure may even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
