Termite Control Whale Beach

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to houses throughout Whale Beach annually, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal

You will find various kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Whale Beach, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an experienced white ant exterminator to look at your property in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call and receive the advice of the most experienced termite control team covering the Whale Beach area. We will help you to make an informed decision on this crucial service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all the family & pets
