Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to properties throughout Maroubra Eastern Suburbs every year, creating a large need for termite inspection.

Termite Control & Protection

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each quickly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the termites.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
