Pest Control & Removal Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Yagoona South West Sydney each year. That is why termite pest control and inspection is so important.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There’s two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today for more information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Yagoona, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
