Termite Removal & Pest Control

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Whale Beach Northern Beaches annually. That is why termite removal and protection is so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for more information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Whale Beach, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants can detect those breaks and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
