Termite Removal & Pest Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Eastern Suburbs Centennial Park termite removal provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Centennial Park; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to get rid of white ants in Centennial Park homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position 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 termite activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
