Treatment For Termite Infestation

across the country it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Edgecliff Eastern Suburbs annually, making termite treatment so crucial.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

You will find different types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Edgecliff, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the house to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The often frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, 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.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
