Prevention & Pest Control Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Turrella annually, making termite prevention so essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Turrella; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

In Turrella, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco friendly
