Prevention & Extermination Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Pagewood Eastern Suburbs each year. That is why termite prevention and extermination is very important.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them quickly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the termites. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

In Pagewood, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first get a professional termite exterminator come out to the house to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then termites may detect the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
