Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to properties in Queenscliff each year, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Removal

You will find different types of termite infestations 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 can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Queenscliff, termite specialists will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of a specialist pest exterminator to check out your structures so that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those 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 fashion, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

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