Extermination & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to properties in Bilgola Plateau Northern Beaches annually, creating a large need for termite extermination.

Termite Removal

You will find various kinds of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they will going to apply one of two general termite management processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to eliminate white ants in Bilgola Plateau homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is important to have your white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating up to 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 that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
