Narraweena Northern Beaches

Cure For Termite Infestation

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Narraweena Northern Beaches annually. That is why termite prevention and treatment is so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today to learn more about the cost of termite preventions.

Typically, in Narraweena, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is important to call in an expert termite exterminator to check out your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants can identify those breaks and gain access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were infesting 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 further colony members.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

What Damage Can Termites Do?
