Termite Prevention Curl Curl

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Curl Curl Northern Beaches are advised to seek quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal

You can find several kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Curl Curl, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of an expert white ant exterminator to look at your residence in order that the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

If you believe that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants can identify those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
