Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a home, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your reliable St George Wolli Creek termite inspection provider.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are different kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to get rid of termites in Wolli Creek homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and access the building.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often 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.
