Termite Extermination Ingleside

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Northern Beaches Ingleside termite extermination provider.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments change regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for additional information on the cost of termite exterminations.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Ingleside homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

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

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants can detect the gaps and gain ingress through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t 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.

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