Termite Pest Control Kogarah

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties across Kogarah St George every year, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Kogarah; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though 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 are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
