Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive amount of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Waterloo are encouraged to seek quality termite inspection services.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

In Waterloo, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an expert pest exterminator to check out your structures so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• An environmentally smart solution
