Termite Pest Control & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to houses across Banksia St George annually, creating a large requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each quickly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Banksia homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
