Pest Control & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Newport Northern Beaches annually, making termite pest control so vital.

Termite Removal

There are several types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional strategy to kill white ants in Newport homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It’s important to call in an expert termite exterminator to visit your premises and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

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

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

How Problematic Can Termites Be?
