Treatment & Removal Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of North Balgowlah Northern Beaches are encouraged to find quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

You will find various types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they will going to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In North Balgowlah, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the house to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or locations cannot be treated because of access problems, the white ants may identify the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
