Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Mortdale St George are encouraged to seek quality termite pest control services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

You can find different kinds of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are 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 hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Mortdale, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is vital to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
