Prevention & Removal Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings across Northern Beaches annually, creating a strong need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

Termite prevention in Northern Beaches homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is crucial to have the white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
