Control & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to buildings across Collaroy every year, creating a large need for termite control.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are various kinds of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Collaroy. Nevertheless, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an expert pest exterminator to look at your home in order that the damage can be fully looked at.

So you already realise there is a termite problem and need the most effective control available in Collaroy? Do you wish to get a reliable termite control service in Collaroy? We can help you to make the right decision on the best options for your house in addition to providing affordable pricing.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites 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 can be eliminated, 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.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
