Solution For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Ingleside Northern Beaches annually. That’s why termite control and prevention is essential.

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations.

To learn more about what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

Generally, in Ingleside, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Can A Colony Of Termites Really Damage My House?

When left untreated, even a single colony of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The home may even become unusable due to the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, can even be irreparable.
