Termite Extermination Balgowlah

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Balgowlah Northern Beaches annually. That is why termite extermination and protection is essential.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the house and the colony. Contact us today to learn more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in Balgowlah homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated due to access problems, the termites will detect the breaks and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
