Extermination & Prevention Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it crucial to call your reliable Eastern Suburbs Eastlakes termite extermination provider.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are different types of termite situations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is essential to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
