Removal & Treatment Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Vaucluse Eastern Suburbs each year. That is why termite removal and extermination is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

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

Generally, in Vaucluse, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

To ensure the job is done right, it is essential to get a trusted pest exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
