Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Waterloo Eastern Suburbs annually. That is why termite protection and extermination is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Waterloo, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even when 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 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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
