Termite Control & Pest Control

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Hillsdale each year, making termite control so important.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them quickly. There’s two main strategies carried out for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Hillsdale, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Ecologically sound
