Prevention & Pest Control Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Oxford Falls annually. That is why termite prevention and pest control is so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Contact us today for additional information on the price of termite preventions.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, 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.

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Eco-friendly
