Cure For Termite Infestation

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

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them quickly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Termite inspection in Northern Beaches homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

To make sure the job is done correctly, it’s essential to get a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when 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 throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the colony
