Termite Prevention
Dolls Point St George

Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Dolls Point St George each year. That’s why termite prevention and pest control is very important.

Termite Removal & Management

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

In Dolls Point, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

It is essential to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if 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.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
