Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Picnic Point each year, making termite prevention so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the termites. Contact us today for more information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Picnic Point, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
