In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Allambie Heights Northern Beaches are encouraged to seek quality termite control services.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them quickly.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
