Termite Pest Control & Extermination

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Oxford Falls Northern Beaches annually. That is why termite pest control and prevention is essential.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Oxford Falls. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s wise to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the house to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas cannot be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants may identify the gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, 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 were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other 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 way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
