Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Tamarama annually. That is why termite prevention and control is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Tamarama; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in Tamarama, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

It’s wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the property to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or locations can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may identify those breaks and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Environmentally Friendly
