Cure For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Hurstville St George every year, making termite inspection so essential.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Hurstville; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Typically, in Hurstville, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is important to engage the expertise of a specialist termite exterminator to look at your property in order that the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good 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 covered, white ants may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if 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.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
