Treatment & Pest Control Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant level of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Turrella St George are encouraged to seek reliable termite treatment services.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Turrella; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Typically, in Turrella, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
