Termite Extermination Curl Curl

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Curl Curl Northern Beaches each year. That is why termite extermination and control is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Curl Curl; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details about the cost for termite treatment and management.

White ant extermination in Curl Curl residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate benefits that can not be ignored.

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

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

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

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
