Extermination & Control Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in La Perouse Eastern Suburbs annually, making termite extermination so essential.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in La Perouse; either the creation of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to kill white ants in La Perouse homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and once again access the house.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
