Termite Pest Control & Extermination

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant amount of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Oatley St George are advised to find reliable termite pest control services.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today for additional info on the price of termite pest controls.

In Oatley, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

It is necessary to have your white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

When left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction.
