Termite Control & Extermination

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to homes in Maroubra Eastern Suburbs each year, creating a large need for termite control.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments vary regarding their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Phone us today for additional information on the cost of termite controls.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in Maroubra homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

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

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
