Treatment & Extermination Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Potts Point every year, making termite treatment so vital.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today to learn more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Generally, in Potts Point, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it is crucial to have a specialist termite exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants will detect the gaps and gain access through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home makes it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
