Termite Control & Extermination

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes across Lurnea on a yearly basis, creating a strong requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are various kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Lurnea. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is wise to first get a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access via them.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
