Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. Once they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it important to call your trusted Northern Beaches Brookvale termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Brookvale; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Typically, in Brookvale, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest 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 colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
