Termite Pest Control Freshwater

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Freshwater Northern Beaches are encouraged to seek reliable termite pest control services.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the cost of termite pest controls.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Freshwater homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is necessary to have the white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants may identify those breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
