Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it essential to call your dependable Botany termite protection provider.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Botany. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is vital to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children & pets
• Ecologically sound

The Telltale Indications Of Termite Infestation
