Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Eastlakes Eastern Suburbs are advised to seek quality termite inspection services.

Termite Removal & Management

You will find several types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to kill termites in Eastlakes homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

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

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and access the property.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
