Solution For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Banksia St George each year. That is why termite pest control and protection is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) are capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes serious enough, your structure could potentially become unlivable.
