Termite Protection & Treatment

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 residences in Whale Beach each year, making termite inspection so essential.

Termite Removal

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the home and the termites. Contact us today for more information on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Termite inspection in Whale Beach residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
