Termite Prevention & Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Beacon Hill termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Phone us today for more information on the price of termite preventions.

Typically, in Beacon Hill, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

It is wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the property to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to children & pets
• Eco-friendly
