Extermination & Prevention Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in North Curl Curl Northern Beaches annually, making termite extermination so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one 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 find out more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in North Curl Curl homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be forgotten.

It is important to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
