Pest Control & Treatment Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to houses in Wolli Creek St George annually, creating a strong need for termite pest control.

Termite Removal

You will find several kinds of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite pest control in Wolli Creek homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
