Extermination & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings across Lucas Heights each year, creating a large need for termite extermination.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Lucas Heights; either the production of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in Lucas Heights, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a specialist white ant exterminator to check over your property so that the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe to use around kids and pets

Common Signs You Are Dealing With A Termite Infestation

Can Termites Badly Damage My Residence?

When left untreated, even just one colony of termites is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction.
