Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings across Cromer Northern Beaches each year, creating a large requirement for termite removal.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites can identify the breaks and attain access via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on result.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
