Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Newport Northern Beaches are encouraged to seek reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal & Management

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for more information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Newport, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s vital to have a specialist pest exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated because of access issues, the white ants can detect the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow 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 colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
