Termite Protection & Pest Control

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant amount of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Kingsgrove are advised to seek quality termite protection services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the termites. Contact us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

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

It is of great importance to engage the expertise of a professional white ant exterminator to check over your structures so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

If you believe that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call and receive the assistance of the most experienced termite protection team covering the Kingsgrove area. We can help you to make a well informed decision about this crucial service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and again access the house.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling makes it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems
