Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it important to call your reliable Eastern Suburbs Pagewood termite removal provider.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

You can find several types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more typical strategy to kill white ants in Pagewood homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional pest exterminator to look at your property so that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Control 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 instead of 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.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
