Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings in Freshwater Northern Beaches each year, creating a strong need for termite pest control.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the termites. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Freshwater homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is vital to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated due to access problems, the white ants can identify the breaks and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
