Termite Pest Control Kogarah

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

Termite Control/Protection Processes

Termite treatments alter regarding their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

White ant pest control in Kogarah homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it is crucial to have a trusted pest exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
