Extermination & Prevention Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive amount of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Elanora Heights are encouraged to seek reliable termite extermination services.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Elanora Heights homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to check over your house so the damage can be fully looked at.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
