Pest Control & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to properties across Avalon Beach Northern Beaches annually, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier between the termites and the building being protected.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?
